Practical info

This page lists fellowship opportunities that LHCb collaborators may apply to. The list is split by country/region and details of eligibility criteria, career stage, and rough timelines are shown. Please note that timelines and eligibility criteria are estimates based on former cycles, and interested applicants should check for specific details, such as the deadline for application, on other webpages. Please also note that most fellowships have long timelines and there can be a sizable delay from application to the final decision.

When applying for these fellowships, you should have ideas to propose your own project and you should discuss this with potential hosts. A (non-exhaustive) list of LHCb groups and their public pages can be found from the Outreach webpages (https://lhcb-outreach.web.cern.ch/collaboration/). You should consider how your experience and scientific output align with the research proposal, and how your proposed research fits in with the activities of the groups you are considering. A typical proposal will take 3-4 weeks to prepare, so you should plan accordingly.

This page may be incomplete and may become out of date. If you notice outdated information or you would like to suggest a fellowship that you think should be included, please contact the ECGD office: lhcb.ecgd@cern.ch.
