*FNR ATTRACT Grants for future research leaders and FNR PEARL Chairs for
outstanding senior researchers*



The *Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR)* is pleased to announce its *FNR
ATTRACT* programme open to *future research leaders (levels R2-R3)* who
have an excellent track record and between two and eight years of
experience after their doctorate. The FNR ATTRACT grant offers them the
opportunity to set up their own research team within one of the country’s
research institutions in domains of strategic relevance. Candidates are
offered a *5-year grant of 1.5 – 2 million euros*, depending on their level
of seniority (FNR ATTRACT Starting or Consolidator Grants), plus a *tenure
track with in-built promotion*.



The *FNR PEARL* programme is Luxembourg’s research programme for
*internationally
recognised senior researchers (level R4)*. Through the recruitment of
outstanding scientists in strategically important areas, the Luxembourg
National Research Fund (FNR) aims to accelerate the development and
strengthening of Luxembourg’s national research priorities. The FNR
PEARL research
programme gives researchers the opportunity to transfer their research
programme to a Luxembourgish public-sector research institution.

FNR PEARL offers up to *4 million euros funding over a 5-year period* and a
tenured research position at one of the research institution in Luxembourg.
