In 2025, the annual MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships call received 17,058 applications, a 64% increase over 2024 (10,360).
The percentages don’t lie: The sad reality is that funding is getting scarcer, and competition for funding sources like Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships is growing. Even if you have a wonderful and novel project, your application has to be near-flawless to even have a chance.
Reviewers don’t just evaluate the science — they assess clarity, structure, impact, and alignment with the MSCA evaluation criteria.
I successfully applied for an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship, which I took up at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich from 2022–2024. I now offer a package where I help turn excellent research ideas into crystal clear and compelling funding proposals, in order to score higher in the assessment stage.
For a €250 flat fee, you get:
- A full copy edit of your research proposal
- A 30-minute video call to discuss the direction of the proposal and the edits made
- A final follow-up edit, once changes are incorporated
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss editing of your Marie Curie or ERC funding proposals.
