The goal of MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a PhD and who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training, international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to excellent researchers of any nationality. All research fields can be funded. Funding covers the costs of the researcher's salary (with a supplement for those with family), as well as training, research and networking costs.
Two types of fellowships to come to Pisa
If UNIPI is the host institution, the following rules apply:
- European Fellowship: open to researchers of any nationality and from any country who decide to come to the University of Pisa for a period of 12-24 months. To come to the University of Pisa, the researcher must not have spent more than 12 months in Italy in the last three years.
- Global Fellowships: aimed at researchers of European citizenship or who have been living in Europe for a long time. The fellowship allows researchers to spend a period of 12-24 months in a non-European institution and to return to the University of Pisa for 12 months. In this case, the researcher must not have spent more than 12 months in the last three years in the chosen non-European country.

Researchers with a PhD degree at the time of the deadline for applications and no more than 8 years of experience in research from the date of the award of their PhD degree are eligible. Extentions are possible under specific conditions; check your eligibility through the EC self-assessement tool.
