The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Networks Programme offers highly competitive and attractive salary and working conditions. Each fellowship includes the following:
- Monthly living allowance: 3,400 euro/month (€40,800/year); this amount is then adjusted through the application of a country correction coefficient to the living allowance of the country in which the researcher is recruited. The country correction coefficients are indicated in Table 2 of the MSCA Work Programme.
- Monthly mobility allowance: 600 euro/month
- Monthly family allowance, if applicable and depending on the family situation: 660 euro/month.
All researchers will be recruited under an employment contract that includes social security coverage.
The allowances listed are the gross EU contribution. Consequently, the net salary results from deducting all compulsory (employer/employee) social security contributions as well as direct taxes (e.g. income tax) from the gross amounts. The rate indicated here is for researchers devoting themselves to their project on a full-time basis.
At SurfEx we are fully committed to equal opportunities, and we have implemented measures to ensure this. Candidates may include information on any career breaks during their application, and these will not be penalized during the selection procedure. In addition, when checking compliance with the mobility rule, we will not consider the refugee procedure as a period of residence in the country where the candidate is applying. When all scores and evaluation criteria are equal, we will give preference to candidates from under-represented groups, for example, women, candidates with disabilities or those from refugee backgrounds.
