Overview

Types of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

There are 2 types of Postdoctoral Fellowships:

  • European Postdoctoral Fellowships: Researchers interested in relocating within Europe or from abroad to advance their academic careers are welcome. These fellowships occur in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe Associated Country and may span one to two years. Applications are open to researchers of any nationality.
  • Global Postdoctoral Fellowships: They support the travel of scholars beyond Europe. The award is typically granted for 2 to 3 years, with the initial 1 to 2 years allocated to a non-associated Third Country, and then a compulsory return period of 1 year to an organization located in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe Associated Country. Applicants must be either EU nationals or long-term residents of EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries.
