Postdoctoral Fellowships

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) aim to support the career development and training of researchers in all scientific disciplines through international and intersectoral mobility.

The fellows carry out their own research project in collaboration with a host institution, which is indicated at the time of their application. Researchers of all ages, nationalities and scientific disciplines can apply.

Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF) provide an extremely enriching experience, that enhance the career perspectives for researchers by developing new scientific competences and gaining international and collaborative research experience.

Tenure-Track Position for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships?

Spanish universities are obliged to reserve at least 15% of the positions they offer for research professors to those who have obtained I3 certification.

I3 certifications are granted by the Ministry of Universities in Spain, through an annual call for applications. Among the requirements to be able to apply for this certificate are: To have a postdoctoral experience of at least 24 and to have been a beneficiary of a national or international excellence program (explicitly mentioned MSCA-PF).

Therefore, getting an MSCA-PF project is helpful for stabilisation at UCM as it helps to achieve the required postdoctoral experience, and above all, because the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship programme is considered a recognised programme of international excellence.
