ENRICH-TOGETHER welcomes all applicants holding a doctoral degree or having successfully defended their doctoral thesis , yet a specific mobility rule for eligibility applies. For the eligibility criteria: Eligibility Criteria
Eligible candidates must possess a doctoral degree at the deadline of the call. Researchers who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis but who have not yet formally been awarded the doctoral degree will also be considered as postdoctoral researchers and will be considered eligible to apply as long as they supply a Ph.D. certificate.
A medical doctor degree will be accepted only when it corresponds to a doctoral degree or if the researcher can demonstrate his/her appointment in a position that requires doctoral equivalency (e.g. professorship appointment). Medical doctor degrees corresponding to basic medical training as defined in Annex V of Directive 2005/36/EC will not be considered a doctoral degree.
The candidate must not have resided or carried out their main activity in Türkiye for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the call deadline.
Time spent in Türkiye for obtaining a refugee status under the Geneva Convention, compulsory national service and/or short stays, such as holidays, will not count towards the 12-month limit of the mobility rule. The applicant may be asked to submit a proof document during the evaluation process.
The ENRICH-TOGETHER fellowship is of €3,980 gross/month (from this amount both employer’s and employee’s contributions will be deduced). An additional research budget of €800 per month is offered. For details: https://enrichtogether.metu.edu.tr/enrich-together-fellowships/why/

Applicants will be communicated on the progress via e-mail at each step of the application, selection and evaluation. If you haven’t received any notification, please contact us.
The notifications of acceptance and rejection will be disclosed in the second half of September, 2024. Candidates being offered the grant must confirm acceptance within 2 weeks. Otherwise, candidates in the reserve list will be contacted. If you accept the grant, the required documents to start the formal procedure (visa application, professional leave, etc.) will be provided.
The beneficiaries will have 2 weeks after notification of acceptance to carry out the changes depicted in the binding report of the Ethics Committee (EC) and present to the EC for review and acceptance. Despite two reviews, if the beneficiary does not meet the requirements of the report, her/his right to the fellowship will lapse.
It is expected that the granted researchers will start the fellowship programme by January-February 2025.
