Overview
ERC grants fund principal investigators at European universities, who recruit PhD candidates and postdocs into their teams (typically 4–5 members). You don’t need an ERC grant yourself — you apply directly to the PI at the host institution.
EURAXESS Jobs lets you filter for ERC-funded positions; vacancies are open to researchers of any nationality. Positions are usually salaried employment contracts.
