Marie Skłodowska-Curie POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS | Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics at the Gdańsk University of Technology

An application may be submitted by scientists holding a doctoral degree from a variety of units: universities, research institutes, enterprises and other organizations from European Union Member States and countries associated with the Horizon Europe framework program.

Each of the units must indicate a research tutor for employed scientists.

The researcher should have a doctoral degree for no longer than 8 years on the day of the end of the enrollment. The eight-year research experience does not include breaks in research work and research work outside Europe - for researchers who wish to return to Europe.

In addition, applicants must meet the mobility rule, i.e. they cannot select a host unit in the country where they have worked and / or lived for more than 12 months in the last 3 years prior to the closing date of the competition.

There are two types of grants under the program:

1. European Grants (European Postdoctoral Fellowships: EF): designed for researchers wishing to expand their activities across Europe. They can be people both from her area and from other parts of the world. Scholarships may be implemented in the EU countries and countries associated with the Horizon Europe program and may last from one to two years. Scientists of any nationality can apply;
2. International Grants (Global Postdoctoral Fellowships: GF): the program finances the mobility of researchers outside Europe. The scholarship lasts from 2 to 3 years, of which the first 1-2 years will be carried out in one of the non-associated Third Countries. Then the scientist is obliged to the so-called return phase, which lasts 1 year and is associated with a year's stay in an organization located in an EU country or in a country associated with the Horizon Europe program.
