Various government and European agencies provide postdoctoral fellowships. Below we have listed a few of them. You may also visit the website of the French embassy in your home or residence country for more informations on the postodoctoral fellowship provided by the French government. Some fellowships are also advertised at CampusFrance .
How does it works?: If you are interested in a postdoctoral stay at our institute and you are eligible for one of these fellowships then you should contact the members of the institute whose research subjects are very close to yours. If you are not sure of your choice, contact the coordinator of the corresponding research group. We generally sponsor all applications for such fellowships if your research themes are reasonably close to ours. Once the person with whom you will be working is determined, you must prepare a research project to summit together with the other application materials to the agency conducting the selection.
