Are you a postdoctoral scholar considering your next career move? Join us for a special webinar on Research Opportunities in Europe, designed to help postdocs explore the diverse landscape of European research and funding. The session will be delivered by EURAXESS North America, an official project of the European Union offering free information and support to connect researchers with Europe. The speakers will provide a clear overview of current EU research priorities, funding mechanisms, and mobility programs - including the new “Choose EU” initiative. Attendees will learn about prestigious funding opportunities such as the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships, which are open to U.S. and other international scholars, as well as to European researchers exploring opportunities within Europe.

The webinar will also introduce the EURAXESS Jobs Portal, which lists thousands of open research positions in academia and industry, including faculty-track roles ideal for later-stage postdocs. Additional insights will be shared on navigating relocation, building international networks, and accessing national contact points for support.

EURAXESS is a European Commission initiative that supports the international mobility and career development of researchers. It offers free resources and personalized assistance to researchers of all nationalities seeking to work in Europe. This event is hosted by the UNC-Chapel Hill Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.
