Expressions of Interest for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024

CTTC welcomes the submission of Expressions of Interest from outstanding researchers to apply for the upcoming Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024 on the European Postdoctoral Fellowships modality.

The European Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to researchers of any nationality who wish to engage in R&D projects by either coming to Europe from any country in the world or moving within Europe. The standard duration of these fellowships must be between 12 and 24 months.

This program expects the supported postdoctoral fellows:

  • To increase the set of research and transferable skills and competences, leading to improved employability and career prospects of MSCA postdoctoral fellows within academia and beyond;
  • New mind-sets and approaches to R&I work forged through international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary experience;
  • Enhanced networking and communication capacities with scientific peers, as well as with the general public that will increase and broaden the research and innovation impact.

If you would like to bring your research work to a new level, we offer you state-of-the art research infrastructure and support facilities to develop your research to its full potential. We also offer CTTC’s background and experience in project management and dealing with public funding applications, as well as more than 20 years of Human Resources team helping researchers coming from abroad to settle in Barcelona area and supporting them with administrative and residence processes.   

We encourage proposals that align with our research interests from the different research units. They are highlighted at https://www.cttc.cat/research-units/.
