MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026
ID 164 2026-04-09 / 2026-09-09
Description
Postdoctoral Fellowships support researchers holding a PhD to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills and international, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral experience to advance their careers. These prestigious fellowships are a stepping stone in researchers' careers, allowing them to carry out cutting-edge research and to cooperate with leading scientific teams and figures.
There are 2 types of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
- European Postdoctoral Fellowships. They are open to researchers moving within Europe or coming to Europe from another part of the world to pursue their research career. These fellowships take place in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country and can last between 1 and 2 years. Researchers of any nationality can apply.
- Global Postdoctoral Fellowships. They fund the mobility of researchers outside Europe. The fellowship lasts between 2 to 3 years, of which the first 1 to 2 years will be spent in a non-associated Third Country, followed by a mandatory return phase of 1 year to an organisation based in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country. Only nationals or long-term residents of the EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries can apply.
Both types of fellowships may also include short-term secondments anywhere in the world during the fellowship (except during the return phase of a Global Fellowship).
The 2026 Postdoctoral Fellowships call has a budget of €399.05 million.
