The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA PF) are part of the Excellence Pillar within the European Union’s Research and Innvoation Funding Programme Horizon Europe and aim to support the career development of researchers. The fellowship will fund a position at a host institution of your choice in an EU member state or Associated Country for a period of 1-2 years (2-3 years for global fellowships with a retun to a host in EU/Ass. Country).
Eligibility criteria for the MSCA PF:
- hold a doctoral degree by the time of the call deadline (September 10, 2025)
- have no more than 8 years of full-time equivalent research experience
