Planning an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship? Sign up to benefit from the support services (https://patio.oulu.fi/en/news/planning-msca-postdoctoral-fellowship-sign-ben... )
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship Call 2024https://marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/calls/msca-postdoctoral-fellowships-2024 under Horizon Europe is expected to open on 10 April 2024 with a deadline of 11 September 2024. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships provide grants for researchers to support their mobility, research projects and training both within and outside Europe. The fellowship is applied in cooperation with the planned host organization. The scheme covers all research areas. It is targeted at researchers with a doctoral degree and a maximum of 8 years of research experience after the PhD by the time of the call deadline. Mobility is a must in the MSCA: the researcher must not have resided in the country of the beneficiary, in this case Finland, for more than 12 months in the 36 months before the call deadline.
An MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA PF) proposal is prepared and submitted by the individual researcher together with the supervisor of the host organization. Research and Project Services have published a more detailed website section on the Support for Ground-Breaking Research at the University of Oulu.https://www.oulu.fi/en/research/support-ground-breaking-research-university-oulu
The University of Oulu Research and Project Services team will help the applicants and supervisors with the proposal preparations. The support process will run during the whole MSCA PF Call period: 10.4-11.9.2024. Through our MSCA PF support process you will be able to:
* get a technical eligibility check * participate in virtual information sessions and proposal preparation online course * get access to an online platform with useful materials and tips for proposal writing * have your draft proposal reviewed
All supervisors and potential applicants planning to submit an MSCA PF application with UOULU as their host institution can register for the support process by answering a short Webropol questionnairehttps://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/CF5BF0B537372287 by 9 April 2024. The applicants will be asked to provide a short description of the research idea (max. 2000 characters). All information provided will be kept confidential. The Research and Project Services will assess the technical eligibility of the applicants against the MSCA PF eligibility criteria. All registered researchers will be invited to an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship kickoff session (hybrid) held on 16 April 2024 and a proposal preparation online course, which runs from April until September.
The University of Oulu has so far been very successful with the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship applications, and we hope that also, in this call, supervisors and international postdocs utilize this opportunity to create exciting collaborations!
