The School of Physical and Chemical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London is looking to support applicants for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA).

The MSCA Fellowships support researchers who are in the early stages of their careers. To be eligible, researchers must have a PhD and less than eight years of experience since completing their PhD. Additionally, they cannot have lived in the country where they will be conducting their research for more than one year in the past three years. This mobility requirement is in place to encourage researchers to broaden their horizons and work in new environments.

Those who are awarded fellowships will receive a variety of benefits. These include a living allowance to cover their basic living expenses, a mobility allowance to help with the costs of relocating to a new country, and additional allowances for family, long-term leave, and special needs. There is also funding available to cover the costs of research, training, networking activities, management, and indirect costs.

Our School has been very successful at securing these fellowships over the years, with a success rate of about 20%, almost twice as high as the overall average

We particularly encourage researchers from underrepresented groups to apply.

The deadline for expressions of interest is the 8th of July. For more information on the application process, you can reach out directly to our research groups:
