Join us a postdoctoral fellow - Application are open for Momentum MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship

Join our Research Group as a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellow!

Under the funding scheme of the Momentum MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme, the Secretary-General of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) launched a call for applications for excellent postdoctoral researchers to carry out their research work at a host research institution which has a “Lendület”/Momentum research group running and which has been participating in the Momentum MSCA Programme. 

The Momentum MSCA Programme aims at supporting incoming mobility of postdoctoral researchers from all over the world in order to increase the prestige of the MTA “Lendület” Momentum Programme by boosting its international visibility and its European and global impact. The current Call aims at selecting and supporting 15 outstanding postdoctoral fellows.

The Momentum MSCA Programme also offers a wide range of trainings including research-
specific, business-specific and transferable skills, coaching, and mentoring for postdoctoral
researchers provided at the host research entities under the supervision of the Principal Investigators leading the “Lendület” Momentum research groups and/or co-supervisors involved in the mandatory international secondments and any additional interdisciplinary and/or intersectoral short-term secondments. The Momentum MSCA Programme’s development plan seeks to enhance the fellows’ versatility and employability in academia and beyond.
