MSCA-POSTDOCTORAL

The SEA-EU universities are interested in facilitating the collaborations between early career researchers and potential supervisors working at the partner universities within the framework of the Marie Sklodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships. MSCA forms part of the Horizon Europe programme, the largest research funding programme in Europe.

The MSCA programme enables early career researchers to move to a host institution in another European country to develop an interdisciplinary research agenda and their future career through international and intersectoral networking.

MSCA European Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded for a duration of 12-24 months to researchers of any nationality who,

• are in possession of a doctoral degree
• have a maximum of 8 years full-time equivalent (FTE) experience in research,
• comply with the MSCA mobility rule, i.e. have not resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the respective European host country for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately prior the call deadline and
• have identified a supervisor in a European country willing to host and support them.

If awarded, the Postdoctoral Fellowships grant covers salary, a mobility allowance and research costs and overheads for the host institution. Individual candidates together with their supervisor submit proposals for funding under this competitive call through the European Commission’s Funding and Tenders portal; the call will close on 7 September 2024.
