International Post-doc Fellowships (IFP-MUST): COFUND-MUST

Several international PostDoc Fellowships within the Swiss National Center of Competence in Research MUST are funded by the FP7 Marie Curie Actions-People.

The IFP-MUST Postdoctoral program is a new national program that aims at increasing the European-wide mobility possibilities for training and career development of experienced researchers, in line with the objectives set out in the activity heading “Life-long training and career development”, of the Marie Curie work program. The aim is to broaden and deepen researcher’s individual competence shortly after having obtained a PhD, in particular in terms of acquisition of multi- or interdisciplinary skills and intersectoral experiences. The program will further help to reintegrate researchers into a research career in the Member States and Associated countries after a mobility experience.

The program start date was May 1, 2011. It ended April 30, 2015. The successful applicants were:
