Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025

University of Huddersfield

The University of Huddersfield invites expressions of interest from researchers seeking to apply to the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 with Huddersfield as their host institution.

The fellowship

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training, international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility. A European Fellowship and a Global Fellowship are offered.

The suitability of the research environment of the host institution is an important aspect of the fellowships. Applicants should make a strong case for the suitability of the opportunities for mentoring, training and networking that can be provided to them by the University of Huddersfield.

Details of the research units at the university and individual staff profiles can be found via the University’s research portal.

Candidate Eligibility Criteria

At the call deadline, applicants must in a possession of a doctoral degree (defined as a successfully defended doctoral thesis, even if the doctoral degree has yet to be awarded) and have no more than 8 years full-time equivalent experience in research since award of their first doctoral degree. Time spent not working in research can be taken into consideration for the purposes of this calculation.

Mobility: Applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the host institution (for European Postdoctoral Fellowships), or the country of the host institution for the outgoing phase (for Global Postdoctoral Fellowships) for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the call deadline.

Supported researchers can be of any nationality. However, candidates to the Global Postdoctoral Fellowship must be nationals or long-term residents of EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries.

Details of the scheme and several useful documents can be found here. All potential candidates are encouraged to carefully check the full eligibility criteria in the 2024 Guide for Applicants, available here. Please note that the 2025 guidance documents are not yet available, however, we don’t expect the scheme details and eligibility criteria to change significantly for the 2025 round.
