Edinburgh Napier University is seeking expressions of interest from potential applicants for this year’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (IF) schemes.

The Marie Curie IF European Fellowships (EF) provide significant financial support to a Research Fellow for a period of 12-24 months on any research topic. Candidates must have either a doctoral degree or at least 4 years’ full-time research experience, post-Bachelor degree.

European Fellows may come from any country except the UK, or if the Fellow is already in the UK, have been resident for less than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the submission deadline.

If we find you to be a suitable match, we will work with you and your nominated host PI, here at Edinburgh Napier University, on your application through our Research & Innovation Office (RIO).
