Postdoctoral Fellowships give researchers holding a PhD a chance to gain new skills and experience whilst carrying out their own research project abroad. The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship call is open to researchers of any nationality and applications in any scientific field. The Fellowships include European Fellowships, which allow researchers to carry out a personalised project in the EU or countries associated to Horizon Europe, and Global Fellowships, open to European nationals or long-term residents wishing to work with organisations in third countries before returning to a host institution in Europe. Deadline for the call: 13 September 2023.

Mobility rule for Global Fellowships: mobility rule: fellows must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the host organisation for the outgoing phase for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the call deadline 13 September.
