ROSETTA Programme
About ROSETTA
ROSETTA is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND postdoctoral fellowship programme coordinated by University of Galway and will involve four other universities (Implementing Partners): University College Cork, University College Dublin, University of Limerick and Trinity College Dublin. In addition, a number of Associated Partners will offer secondments and other networking and training opportunities. ROSETTA is co-funded by the European Commission under the prestigious Horizon Europe: Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Programme, Lero, the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Software and University of Galway.
ROSETTA’s aim
ROSETTA’s aim is to provide fellows with the highest quality research environment and a training programme that ensures their ability to provide leadership in the sectors relevant to design evaluation and regulation of technology from a time perspective. Fellows will receive training on the latest emerging time theories, methods, and equipment that they can then apply to effectively and collectively address time and technology grand challenges.
Who is it for?
ROSETTA will fund 19 fellowships of 2-year duration for postdoctoral researchers. Fellows will be recruited from the fields of business, law, computer science, medicine, biomedical engineering, education, psychology, software engineering, information systems, human-computer interaction and business.
ROSETTA research pillars
There are 3 broad research pillars: Temporal (Theories & Concepts), Temporal (Methods & Equipment), and Temporal (Context). As an applicant, you have the freedom to choose your own research project. However, it is important to ensure that your research topic aligns with the programme’s research themes and the interests of an eligible supervisor. Before applying, you must discuss your research idea and proposal and seek the support of an eligible supervisor for your application who shares an aligned research interest with your chosen topic. If you are considering applying for a ROSETTA fellowship but are uncertain if your proposal topic fits within the programme’s research scope, please contact us. We would be delighted to discuss this further with you.
Calls for proposals
We understand the importance of rigorous selection processes to ensure the highest standards of excellence. To that end, we will be recruiting fellows through internationally advertised calls for proposals. All candidates must discuss their research idea and proposal and seek the support of an eligible supervisor for their application. Please note that applications without the support of an eligible supervisor will not be considered.
