About this opportunity

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships support researchers in gaining new skills through international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility. European Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to researchers of any nationality moving to or within Europe.

Benefits

Requirements
The applicant and host organisation jointly prepare a research and training proposal demonstrating scientific excellence, career-development value, appropriate supervision, mobility and implementation. The researcher must meet PhD and mobility rules and the host must be established in an eligible EU Member State or associated country.

How to apply
Identify an eligible host and supervisor, develop the MSCA proposal together and submit it electronically through the European Commission Funding and Tenders Opportunities Portal before September 9, 2026 at 17:00 CEST.
