In line with ICMAB-CSIC strategy to attract research talent, we make an effort to give excellent candidates the support to prepare successful applications for international grants.

Hence, ICMAB-CSIC is looking for postdoctoral researchers wanting to apply to Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF)* in 2022. ICMAB-CSIC has full experience in MSCA actions, and we make a big effort in MSCA-PF calls, having achieved high success rate in the last years.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships are a great opportunity for experienced researchers to boost Career Development. The 2022 call is now OPEN with a deadline on 14 September 2022.

ICMAB-CSIC is willing to host MSCA-PF-2022 applicants. We offer a variety of projects with different supervisors from our institute. We are looking for candidates that want to improve their research careers, to move to a different environment and to discover new research topics.

Description of MSCA Postdoctoral fellowships

The objective of Postdoctoral Fellowships (PFs) is to support researchers’ careers and foster excellence in research. The Postdoctoral Fellowships action targets researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills and develop their careers. PFs help researchers gain experience in other countries, disciplines and non-academic sectors.

The fellowship typically covers the researcher's salary (living and mobility allowance) for two years, research, training and networking activities costs and overheads for the host institution.

Eligibility rules

The mobility rule of MSCA PF requires that the researcher (candidate) has not resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host organization (Spain, for ICMAB-CSIC) for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the call deadline (expected to be September 14^th 2022 for call 2022).

Moreover, only candidates with research experience up to 8 years postdoc from the date the PhD degree was granted are eligible(with possible exceptions).

*Note that under the new EU programme for research and innovation, Horizon Europe, the MSCA Individual Fellowships (MSCA IF) is renamed to MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA PF).
