A PARADIM for Jumpstarting Academic Careers—Update 2022

PARADIM Highlight #56—External User Project (2022)

Funding Sponsors

Materials Innovation Platforms provide free access and training at state-of-the-art equipment. Based on accepted projects to use PARADIM, our User Program is particularly interesting for young researchers and faculty at the start of their own research group, when required equipment or well-trained personnel might not be readily available at their home institutions.

Most importantly, access to PARADIM includes support by scientific staff. Independent research projects can be pursued immediately and the projects’ associated users—usually graduate students—receive invaluable hands-on training and guidance on all aspects of their Materials-by-Design discoveries.

This highlight is an updated version of PARADIM Highlight #31 to reflect the growing number of early-career investigators among external users of PARADIM who secured subsequent funding.

 

 

Examples of assistant professors—at the time of submission of their PARADIM proposal—whose success at user projects at PARADIM led to subsequent funding.
