Key facts about MSCA PF:
The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 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 return to a host in EU/Ass. Country).
Candidates need to:
? hold a doctoral degree by the time of the call deadline (September 10, 2025)
