Description

The Université Catholique de Louvain invites postdoctoral researchers to apply for Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships to carry out research projects in Belgium. The programme is aimed at PhD holders with less than eight years of post-doctoral experience who meet the international mobility rules. Applicants must collaborate with a supervisor within a research institute to develop their skills and career. The process requires preparing a complete application including a research proposal meeting European excellence criteria. Funding falls under the Horizon Europe programme. Applications must be submitted through the European Commission’s official Funding and Tenders portal before 9 September 2026. Early contact with a supervisor at UCLouvain helps co-build a strong proposal, and because the fellowship is highly competitive across Europe, a proposal with clear scientific ambition and a credible work plan stands out.
