DECTRIS CLOUD is excited to announce the DECTRIS CLOUD Junior Researcher Grant, a prestigious opportunity designed to support and empower the next generation of scientists working at the forefront of X-ray sciences and electron microscopy (EM).
Who Should Apply?
If your work involves processing, analysis, or modeling of X-ray and/or Electron Microscopy data, this call is for you. This is your chance to gain the tools and support you need to turn your data into discovery. The grant is open to junior researchers including masters and PhD candidates, and PostDocs (with a maximum of 4 years of academic experience following their PhD).
Abstract submission
In order to run for the DECTRIS CLOUD Junior Research Grant, you must submit an abstract that summarizes the science case you are tackling and the data analysis and processing needed to achieve your results. When writing the abstract, think science, not stack!
Your abstract should be a forward-looking proposal, not a completed study. And you should highlight the potential impact and innovation of your approach.
