MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships La Rochelle Université > Research and Innovation > Services for researchers > MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships Published on 16 April 2024 MSCA PFs (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Posdoctoral Fellowships) are open to early career researchers (under 8 years of experience after being awarded your PhD) and aim at fostering research careers and excellence by encouraging mobility. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships European fellowships (EF) finance mobility within or to Europe (1-2 years), Global Fellowships (GF) finance mobility outside Europe (1-2 years) followed by a compulsory return phase in Europe (1 year). MSCA PFs are open calls, meaning it is up to you to identify the subject you would like to work on. The second step is to identify a supervisor. You can also identify a supervisor who has expressed his/her interest to work with a post-doc on a particular subject that is relevant for you and for which you may have complementary expertise. You will only be able to apply for a Host Institution, provided you have spent less than a year in the country of the host over the last three years. The University can help you identify a supervisor La Rochelle Université is more than open to MSCA postdocs and has experience with PFs. We have been lucky to welcome 4 PFs over the last 5 years and will have the pleasure of welcoming a new one in 2024. La Rochelle Université has 11 research units working in social sciences, life sciences, engineering, and IT. If you identify a supervisor working in your particular area, we will be happy to facilitate contact, please address your interest to europe@univ-lr.fr. We can also facilitate matchmaking at a European level, with the 8 other universities of EU-CONEXUS.
