Seeking expertise:
Vilnius University (VU) invites motivated researchers with a strong track record to prepare joint applications for the 2025 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA PF) call with a deadline on September 10, 2025.
HOST INSTITUTION
Founded in 1579, VU https://www.vu.lt/en/ is one of the oldest higher education institutions in Eastern and Central Europe. With its 15 academic units, the earliest academic Library in the Baltics, the Astronomical Observatory, the Botanical Garden and 2 University Hospitals, VU is the largest university in the country. It tops the ranking as the number one university in Lithuania and leads in education and a broad spectrum of fundamental and applied research. VU offers a dynamic research and training environment and is well-integrated into a collaborative network of international universities.
BOOST YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS WITH ERA FELLOWSHIPS!
ERA Fellowships offer an excellent second chance at securing funding. If you're applying for the European Postdoctoral Fellowship with a host institution in a widening country like Lithuania, and your proposal is not funded under the MSCA PF call due to budget limitations, it will automatically be considered for the ERA Fellowships call giving your project an additional opportunity to receive support.
