Description
Summary:The single most important factor for the success of a researcher on the academic job market is the scientific output, i.e., published papers [1], accompanied by other factors such as networking and participating in science communication. In the MSCA programme, a host institution can be a public (university or research institute) or a private (company, university, or research institute) entity. Focusing on the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship application sets this paper apart from 2 other valuable contributions previously published in the “Ten simple rules…” series, as these publications shared more general guidance for (Postdoc fellowship) applications [9,10]. The team of authors is composed of recent MSCA postdoctoral fellows and reviewers who have evaluated MSCA applications for several years.
