COFUND: Which researchers are eligible to be recruited through MSCA Choose Europe for Science Programmes?

Researchers must be PhD holders at the time of the vacancy notice deadline. They must not be permanently employed at the recruiting institution but can already be temporarily employed. Researchers must comply with the MSCA mobility rule which specifies that researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the vacancy notice deadline of the selected project. Researchers can be of any nationality, there should be no limitations placed on this. Researchers can have any scientific age post-PhD. Therefore, if the applicant decides to limit the scientific age of the PhD researchers, they need to justify it in their proposal and the reasons will be assessed as part of the evaluation.
