If you are a postdoctoral researcher with up to 8 years post PhD experience and are interested in applying for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, in 2026, in working in Portugal, and in having CIDEHUS as your host institution, then CIDEHUS will gladly consider your application.

The application to the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 will be automatically resubmitted to the ERA Fellowships Call, HORIZON-MSCA-2026-PF-01-01, in case the proposal is considered of high quality, but does not reach a classification high enough to be funded. This simplified submission procedure to the ERA Fellowships Call is aimed at applicants moving to Widening countries. As CIDEHUS-University of Évora is located in Portugal, and Portugal is one of the Widening countries, your application will have an additional opportunity to be funded.
