The MagIC Research Centre is seeking talented postdoctoral researchers interested in applying for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (Marie Curie PF) with MagIC as their host institution.

Are you a postdoctoral researcher or have experience in research? Looking to take your career to the next level on an international stage? Then the Marie Curie PF program could be the perfect opportunity!

This fellowship program provides funding for research mobility, allowing you to develop your research projects abroad and enhance your research skills and career.

Eligibility Requirements

• Hold a PhD degree by the application deadline (September 11, 2024). Applicants who have successfully defended their thesis but haven't formally received the degree are also eligible.
• Have a maximum of eight years of research experience since your PhD award. Years outside research, career breaks, or research experience in third countries for EU/Horizon Europe-associated country nationals/residents re-integrating to Europe do not count.
• Meet mobility rules: not have resided or conducted your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the beneficiary country (European PF) or host organization (Global PF) for more than 12 months in the 36 months preceding the call deadline.

By applying with MagIC, you'll gain access to additional funding through Widening Fellowships, promoting mobility for candidates from widening countries (including Portugal).
