如何一个PPLY

We encourage all motivated and eligible postdoctoral researchers to send their expressions of interestthrough the EU Survey application form(link here), before1^stof May 2023.

Your application shall include:

• a CV specifying:

(i) the exact dates for each position and its location (country)

(ii) a list of publications

• a cover letter including a research outline(up to 2 pages) identifying the research synergies with the project supervisor(s) and proposed research topics described above.

Following the reception of your expression of interest, we will check the eligibility of your profile for a MSCA-PF application. Supervisor(s) will then select the most promising applications. Subsequently, supervisors will contact you in due time (mid-May) for further discussions and proposal writing until September 2023. If funded, the MSCA-PF project submitted in September 2023 could start from May 2024 onwards.

Please note:as a selected applicant, you will be responsible for developing and writing your own MSCA-PF proposal, even though you will benefit from the support of your supervisor(s).
