The Faculty will invite selected applicants to an online event, which will include information about the funding scheme and our advice to the application writing process.
The Marie Sk?odowska-Curie actions are part of the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, Horizon Europe. The actions provide grants for all stages of researchers' careers - be they doctoral candidates or highly experienced researchers - and encourage transnational, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) fund researchers looking to enhance their career development and - prospects by working abroad. The Postdoctoral Fellowships are about a two-way transfer of knowledge, and concern the career development of the applicant, but also what the host institution can learn from the applicant. Applicants should have a PhD degree at the time of the deadline for the MSCA PF, 13th September. For more information, please see the MSCA web pages.
Our process for selecting candidates will be as follows:
11. May 2023: deadline for HF's departments to nominate candidates
(Please note that the departments may have deadlines prior to this date.)
The departments will nominate their candidates to the faculty, and should include the following for each candidate: 1) the candidate’s CV, 2) the proposed project title and max one page draft of the project idea, 3) the scholarly supervisors’ assessment of the candidate and why the proposed project is relevant for the supervisor/the department/research group.
In their assessments of candidates, the departments may consider the quality of the candidate’s scientific profile (based on the CV and education, publications, projects, prizes, awards, commissions of trust, international research activity etc.), the proposed project’s relevance for the scholarly supervisor/group/department, and the proposed project’s originality and feasibility.
The Faculty of Humanities will select candidates and invite them to the online Master Class.
1. June 2023 MSCA Postdoctoral Master Class - Webinar
