Individual Fellowships

The launch of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions 2019 Call for Individual Fellowships

It is open to researchers all over the world, who have a doctoral degree or at least four years’ full-time research experience. The deadline for applying is set on 11 September 2019 (17:00:00 Brussels time).

Applicants have the choice to apply for a European Fellowship if they are moving within the EU or associated countries[1] or if they are interested to come to the EU or an associated country from any other country in the world. Researchers based in the EU or associated countries can apply for a Global Fellowship for a position outside Europe.

MSCA Individual Fellowships offer favorable employment conditions, including the possibility to work part-time and, for example, work on creating a start-up or follow advanced studies in parallel.

This is where to find all the necessary information to apply:

Individual Fellowships (IF) are a great option if you are an experienced researcher looking to give your career a boost by working abroad. They offer exciting new learning opportunities and a chance to add some sparkle to your CV.

TYPES OF INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIPS

There are two types of Individual Fellowships:

• European Fellowships
• Global Fellowships

European Fellowships:

• are open to researchers moving within Europe, as well as those coming in from other parts of the world.
• can restart a research career after a break, such as parental leave.
• can help researchers coming back to Europe find a new position.

These Fellowships are held in the EU or associated countries and last for one to two years.

Global Fellowships

• fund positions outside Europe for researchers based in the EU or associated countries.
• last between two and three years.
• the researcher has to come back for one year to an organisation based in the EU or associated countries.

Both types of Fellowship can also include a secondment period of up to three or six months in another organisation in Europe.

WHO CAN APPLY?

This action is for experienced researchers from across the world.

Applicants need a doctoral degree or at least four years’ full-time research experience by the time of the call deadline.

WHAT CAN BE FUNDED?

All research areas can be funded. MSCA Fellows come from a wide variety of disciplines – from physics to linguistics, and from health-sciences to mathematical modelling.

WHAT THE FUNDING COVERS

The grant provides an allowance to cover living, travel and family costs. In addition, the EU contributes to the training, networking and research costs of the fellow, as well as to the management and indirect costs of the project. The grant is awarded to the host organisation, usually a university, research centre or a company in Europe.

HOW DO I APPLY?

You submit a research proposal, including your CV. The proposal is written jointly with your chosen host organisation(s).
