Discover open MSCA positions

The MSCA PF are 2-year postdoctoral fellowships, which cover salary and research costs of the researchers, who can come from anywhere in the world. The projects are strongly focused on the career development of participating researchers. The organisations in Luxembourg that want to host such talented researchers include large public research organisations as well as private companies, many of which offer interesting job perspectives after completion of the fellowship.In order to apply for MSCA PF funding, interested candidates need to prepare a 10-page research proposal together with their prospective Luxembourg host organisations. Luxinnovation supports this process through our free grant writing trainings and proposal review services. Luxembourg already has a promising track record: our MSCA PF applications submitted for the call in 2019 had a success rate of 29% (well above the EU average of 15%). For those that had received support from Luxinnovation, the success rate was even 42%.Interested applicants can have a look at the open positions for MSCA fellows.More information on the application process as well as the research ecosystem in Luxembourg is also available on our website.
