Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (formally Individual Fellowships) are an individual grant for postdoctoral researchers to support mobility, research projects and training.
There are two types of fellowship:
1) European Postdoctoral Fellowships - fellows can be hosted at University of York, with fellowships typically lasting for 2 years.
2) Global Postdoctoral Fellowships - fellows would be hosted in a Third Country not associated to Horizon Europe (typically for 2 years), with the fellow then coming to University of York for the final third year.
Summary of eligibility (please check full eligibility criteria in the funder guidance notes):
- Researchers must have a doctoral degree at the date of the call deadline. At the call deadline, researchers must also have a maximum of eight years full-time equivalent experience in research, measured from the date that the researcher was in possession of a doctoral degree.
- Mobility -
For European Postdoctoral Fellowships (i.e. held at University of York), researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies etc.,) in the UK for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the call deadline.
For Global Postdoctoral Fellowships, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies etc.,) in the country of the 'Third Country' host organisation for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the call deadline.
- Researchers can be of any nationality. However, researchers going to a third country (as part of a Global Postdoctoral Fellowship) must be nationals or long-term residents of EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries (a period of legal and continuous residence within EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries of at least five consecutive years).
The 2021 Round opens on 18 May 2021 with a funder deadline of 15 September 2021 (please factor in University deadlines, which will proceed the funder deadline).
Do you have any examples of successful applications?
What is the timeline for this scheme?
After the deadline in September 2021, proposals will be evaluated between Oct-Dec 2021. The outcome of evaluations (i.e. results) will happen in Feb 2022. Prospective start dates for proposals will be between March 2022 and September 2023.

- Standard University deadlines apply for submission.
academic supervision time to Marie Curie Fellowships -
unfunded
just wanted to see if this was something you would be looking at and advising depts on as part of your Fellowship role? (i.e. could we say that these types of grants should always include supervision time?)
