The FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence (FKNE) consists of 30 Scholars; they serve two terms of 2 years (4 years in total). Every two years up to 15 new Scholars are selected, and 15 – end their mandate/rotate off, becoming FKNE Alumni.

 

 

We are aiming for:

• Early and mid-career stage neuroscientists with independent positions
• Neuroscientists with successful research lines – as evidenced by outstanding publications as main (first, last and/or corresponding) authors, and/or receipt of prestigious personal prizes, fellowships, or grants
• Neuroscientists who typically completed their PhD work 4-12 years ago (though there is no strict timing rule, and candidates who are over 12 years post-PhD will still be considered to allow for childcare considerations)
• Neuroscientists with strong leadership and communication skills who are motivated to actively participate in Network activities
• Diversity is a central value of the FENS-Kavli Network, this is a central focus in our recruitment process.

To promote optimal group dynamics, we aim to maximise our spread over all disciplines of neuroscience.

The FENS-Kavli Scholars:

• will be selected based on the above criteria
• will actively serve two terms, each of 2 years’ duration 

Selection of 15 FENS-Kavli Scholars will take place in 2023.
