- End date:

Details
The French Sorbonne University opened a new call under the Seal of Excellence 2025 - Sorbonne Université funding scheme.
This call will support researchers with projects that have been awarded the MSCA Seal of Excellence under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) 2024 Postdoctoral Fellowships call, and whose proposals have been evaluated with a score of at least 85%, but failed to be funded due to budget constraints.
About the call
The programme includes a salary and a lump-sum for research costs for two years, similar to the MSCA projects.
Selected fellows will be offered a contract at Sorbonne Université (either a postdoctoral or a research contract depending on their experience) for a period of 24 months.
How to apply
Only projects submitted with a supervisor in one of Sorbonne Université's research units are eligible.
Each applicant is invited to apply online through their supervisor by sending the full application before 14 April, 17.00 CEST to msca-pf@sorbonne-universite.fr.
The list of successful projects were announced in May 2025.
