In this episode, Niko and Srinath talk about staying in science after the PhD, focusing specifically on the funding for PostDocs, the short- as well as the long-term options.

They go into more detail about some of the most common funding bodies, among them European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowships (MSCA IF), Human Frontiers Science Program (HFSP), and more. They discuss the grants’ eligibility criteria, time constraints on the applications, and moving to different countries for a PostDoc.
