Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026: Call for Expressions of Interest

The Sciences Po Centre for History (CHSP) invites expressions of interest under the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 programme.

The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to researchers of all nationalities who wish to carry out a research project involving international mobility, with a view to developing their skills and advancing their careers.

In this context, the Sciences Po Centre for History invites applications from candidates with ambitious research projects. It therefore calls on postdoctoral researchers wishing to join its stimulating international research environment for a period of two to three years to express their interest.

The application must include the following:

• A curriculum vitae, including a list of publications.
• A brief letter explaining why the applicant has chosen the Sciences Po Centre for History as their host institution and indicating the name(s) of the Centre member(s) who could supervise the research. In the case of a Global Postdoctoral Fellowship, the letter must also specify the name of the person supervising the research at the host institution for the outgoing phase.
• A preliminary research proposal (2 pages) outlining the project’s objectives, the proposed methodology, and a short bibliography.

The Centre for History will decide to support applications on the basis of an internal academic evaluation and the availability of appropriate supervision. Applicants will be informed of the outcome of the pre-selection process before 16 May 2026.

Selected candidates will then receive guidance in preparing their application for submission to the European Commission before 9 September 2026.
