The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships) fund excellence in research and innovation by supporting researchers at all stages of their careers. They provide new knowledge and skills through cross-border mobility and exposure to different sectors and disciplines.

The MSCA-PF fellowships promote research excellence and are intended for PhD holders who wish to develop their research activities abroad, acquire new skills, advance their careers, and gain experience in other countries, disciplines, and non-academic sectors.

Interested researchers must apply together with a host organization, which can be a university, research institution, company, small or medium-sized enterprise, or another organization based in an EU Member State or a country associated with the Horizon Europe program. All disciplines are eligible for these postdoctoral fellowships, including research areas covered by the Euratom Research and Training Program.
