It funds a postdoc researcher to conduct a structured programme of excellent research in any area, training, two-way sharing of know-how and mobility with a well-matched PI supervisor to enhance their employability. It provides a generous salary and research budget, and is a great recruitment tool to identify top-talented researchers from abroad to join your research group.
Key eligibility requirements: Researchers must have a doctoral degree, a maximum of 8 years' full-time research experience and not have had their main work/residence in the UK for more than 12 months in the past 36 months before the EC MSCA-PF (2023) call deadline. *Resubmission restrictions may also apply.
