MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2022 (Global Fellowships) under Horizon Europe

Designation/Position- MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2022

EU’s research and innovation program Horizon Europe invites applications for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2022 from eligible and interested candidates.

About- MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a Ph.D. who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training and international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral mobility. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships will be open to excellent researchers of any nationality.

The scheme also encourages researchers to work on research and innovation projects in the non-academic sector and is open to researchers wishing to reintegrate in Europe, to those who are displaced by conflict, as well as to researchers with high potential who are seeking to restart their careers in research.

Research/Job Area-  

The MSCA-PF will continue to support Postdoctoral research in all domains of research and innovation (bottom-up principle). The novelty in MSCA in Horizon Europe (compared to MSCAHorizon 2020) is that Euratom[1] research areas are included in the range of supported topics within the 8 existing scientific panels. 

The 8 scientific panels are:

  • Chemistry (CHE) 
  • Social Sciences and Humanities (SOC) 
  • Economic Sciences (ECO) 
  • Information Science and Engineering (ENG) 
  • Environment and Geosciences (ENV) 
  • Life Sciences (LIF) 
  • Mathematics (MAT) 
  • Physics (PHY)

Applicants must indicate at the submission stage in which of eight different scientific areas their proposal fits best.


[1] Indian Host Institutes are, however, not eligible to host a global fellow for Euratom research.
