The AMBER consortium has been assembled for the exploitation and development of large-scale European infrastructures to address key needs for biological imaging. This covers length scales from molecular, through cellular, to tissue, organ and organism levels of organisation. AMBER brings together four research centres and three large scale research infrastructures with a wide range of competence including clinical practitioners, biological and biomedical scientists, physical scientists, and facility/infrastructure experts.
We exploit an ongoing convergence in the scientific landscape in terms of European central facility development, data management, and data analysis and interpretation, coupled with the explosive growth in the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches.
LINXS Institute of Advanced Neutron of X-ray Science will host this 5-year Co-fund programme, which will recruit 42 post-doctoral research fellows, in three calls of 14 fellows each, with each fellowship of 36-month duration.
AMBER is a first-of-its-kind in Europe and joins four research centres and three Large Scale Research Infrastructures (LRSIs), of which one is a leading European light source and the other two neutron sources. It opens transnational recruitment and will provide exceptional research, training, and career opportunities for 42 Postdoctoral Researchers, recruited over 3 enrollment calls with 14 fellowships each.
