The goal of MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a PhD and who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training, international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility.

The Center for Psychology at University of Porto (CPUP) is an international research unit welcoming outstanding researchers applying to MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships. Our mission is to produce world-class basic and applied psychological research and develop evidence-based solutions that contribute to the well-being of a diverse and socially fair society. At CPUP you can find a stimulating, multidisciplinary team of experts with whom to collaborate in one of five Research Groups:

The applicants looking for CPUP as their host institution should email the coordinator of the targeted Research Group presenting themselves and a) attach the CV (max. 5 pages; make sure to include the ORCID and the Scopus IDs in the CV), and b) point out a tutor with whom to collaborate in the Group. Please make sure to read the conditions of the call at the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships website prior to emailing a coordinator. The deadline to contact the Research Groups’ coordinators is 18 June 2026.

The Center for Psychology is located in the exuberant city of Porto. The city is an architectural treasure that invites to contemplative walks along the singular historical streets and the lively Ribeira by the Douro River; it also counts with numerous green parks and a colorful cultural agenda that pleases the most diverse tastes.
