Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) and the SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) (funded by Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation) has now launched a joint call.
Aim
The funded projects should bridge the thematic profiles of DDLS and WASP and address fundamental research problems between the WASP and DDLS research areas and be of a visionary nature.
Who can apply?
Projects should be led jointly by one faculty from WASP and one from DDLS. The DDLS faculty can be any researcher based at a Swedish university or the Swedish Museum of Natural History, conducting research with a data or computational angle within DDLS’ four research areas (Cell and molecular biology, Evolution and biodiversity, Precision medicine and diagnostics and Epidemiology and infection biology).
The projects must propose cross-program collaborations such as:
- Twinning of postdocs (Two postdocs: one from the WASP community and one from the life science community working together on a joint project
- Joint postdoc (One joint postdoc with faculties from both DDLS and WASP sides. One faculty at one university will become the primary host for hiring and reporting purposes.)
- Transfer of postdocs (A PhD student from WASP applying for a postdoc in the DDLS field or the reverse.)
- Two junior faculty (Two assistant or associate professors, one from the WASP community and one from the life science community, to work together on a joint project.)
- Embedding of a DDLS expert in a WASP research group
- Embedding of a WASP expert in a DDLS research group
