Navigating the Path to a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Centrale Nantes: A Step-by-Step Guide through HORIZON-MSCA-2025-PF-01-01
Step 1: This call aims to create a working partnership between a postdoctoral fellow abroad and a Centrale Nantes supervisor to collaborate on a research topic defined by the supervisor.
Step 2: Once the partnership is established, both parties will sign a mutual confidentiality agreement, and a memorandum of understanding, in order to start preparing and submitting an application for the HORIZON-MSCA-2025-PF-01-01 call to the European Commission (approximately 10 pages). The postdoctoral fellow and the supervisor will decide on the duration of the postdoctoral fellowship, which may vary between 12 to 24 months.
Step 3 – Path A: If the project is selected by the European Commission, the postdoctoral fellow will be hosted at Centrale Nantes and will receive a salary of approximately €6,000 (before employer and employee deductions). Additional funding is available to support the planned research activities. A family allowance and a mobility allowance are also available.
Step 3 – Path B: If the project is not selected but receives a Seal of Excellence, Centrale Nantes will seek alternative, non-European funding to ensure that the mobility remains feasible.
Step 3 – Path C: If the project is not funded, Centrale Nantes will help prepare a new submission to the European Commission the following year.
