NOVEL | Novel brain health solutions across four focus areas: Prevention and care, Methods and data, Innovation and society, and Ethics and well-being

Summary
The NOVEL Postdoctoral Programme pioneers in merging diverse socio-cultural and scientific expertise to forge new brain health solutions, energizing regional, national and global development. It integrates neuroscience, data science, innovation management, and social and legal studies across four synergetic research areas: Prevention and Care, Methods and Data, Innovation and Society, Ethics and Wellbeing. This initiative thrives on cooperation with companies, health organizations, patient groups, and universities, offering a rich training blend through compulsory non-academic secondments, mentoring, and dynamic summer schools. Targeting under-represented and minority scientists across different disciplines, NOVEL encourages applicants to work on their research projects within an inclusive community-based platform, ensuring equal opportunities. The merit-based selection process is transparent, conducted by external international assessors.
NOVEL’s training goals are multifaceted: nurturing research excellence and inclusivity, fostering broad intersectoral networks, embracing Open Science, and aspiring to be a global benchmark in brain health research training. The training is structured into three pillars: enhancing disciplinary skills, developing transferable competencies in innovation, management, leadership, and ethics, and boosting active parnerships and stakeholder engagement. Mandatory and optional secondments with NOVEL partners underscore its comprehensive intersectoral approach. The programme promises attractive employment conditions, including 36-month contracts, competitive compensation, strong local support systems, and an inspiring environment for research and collaboration. Each fellow receives guidance from multiple supervisors and a mentor, facilitating both conventional and innovative career trajectories, positioning NOVEL at the forefront of research training in brain health.
