2024 Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship(HE-MSCA-PF-2024)

Hi all, I need some advice!

I'm not sure how to present my situation in Part A, under the current organisation/contact. Two months ago I received my PhD but I haven't secured any postdoc immediately afterwards. Essentially I am unemployed, though affiliated (remotely) with one group at my university. Is it acceptable to fill in the details of the institution where I obtained my PhD then?
How do you deal with this question in applications?
This totally slipped my mind with all the writing, though I might have missed any relevant info in the guidelines (if there is).

Thank you!

Hi! I am basically in the same situation, no postdoc position but still affiliated (not that remote, I am even still in the office sometimes and I appear on the homepage as scientific staff). I would go with your PhD institution.


I have two more questions:
1. I just noticed that the references should be in footnote style - so is it allowed to delete this page counting box - otherwise there would be no space in the footer.
2. Do you think it's possible to do the Gantt chart in landscape format?

Thank you!

Great, thank you very much!

1. Where does it say about the footnotes? I know that the page counting box must stay.
I've actually wrote the references at the very end, per advice of the host examiner. I must check this detail again, though.
2. The page orientation of the form should remain consistent, I believe. Have you checked in the handbook or the manual?

Hi! I have a specific question. I am applying for MSCA this year. The proposal includes developing a novel theoretical method, applying it to various models, and making a framework that translates the parameters of these models to the impact on some observables.

The point is that I have developed a prototype of this method and am going to submit a paper to arXiv. My plan was to submit it right after the MCSA deadline. The prototype is a kind of proof of principle, i.e., it cannot be applied from box.

My question is whether this may severely affect the chance of my proposal being approved. What do you think?

Have you discussed it with the host? It might depend on how you present this in the proposal. I'd ask them, at least the Office that supports the application process.
At the beginning of the application, there is something along the lines of confirming that the proposed research will be entirely original, etc.
