Global Postdoctoral Fellowships

• 1-2 year research stay outside Europe
•  followed by a mandatory 1-year return phase in Europe

Innovative doctoral programs are funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Networks.

The up to 15 doctoral students per project work on their own research project for up to 3 years and receive additional innovative training during this time to prepare them optimally for the job market.

Applications can be submitted for all research topics, there are no predetermined topics (bottom-up).

The aim is to give candidates good career prospects after completing their doctorate, both in the academic and non-academic sector. It is therefore recommended that institutions from the non-academic sector are also integrated into the consortium.


The MSCA mobility rule applies to all doctoral candidates: they must not have lived or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the host institution for more than 12 months in the 36 months prior to their recruitment.


Next submission deadline: 27.11.2024
