MSCA Postdoctorall Fellowships are open to researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills and develop their careers. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships help researchers gain experiencein other countries, disciplines, and non-academic sectors.
European Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to researchers moving within Europe or coming to Europe from another part of the world to pursue their research career. These fellowships take place in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country and can last between 1 and 2 years. Researchers of any nationality can apply.
Global Postdoctoral Fellowships fund the mobility of researchers outside of Europe. The fellowship lasts between2 to 3 years, of which the first 1 to 2 years will be spent outside of Europe followed by a mandatory return phase of1 year to an organisation based in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country. Only nationals or long-term residents of the EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries can apply.
Both types of fellowships may also include short-term secondments anywhere in the world during the fellowship (except during the return phase of a Global Fellowship). Researchers can receive additional support to carry out a placement of up to 6 months in a non-academic organisation based in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country. This placement needs to take place at the end of their fellowship. If you are an experienced researcher interested in developing your own research project, you can apply for a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship. You will need to develop an application jointly with your chosen host organisation and submit it to the next call for Postdoctoral Fellowships published on the Funding and Tenders Opportunities Portal. Calls for application for a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship are published annually.
