About this position
The C4W programme offers 13 postdoctoral fellowships in the cleantech research field, jointly opened by the University of Mons (UMONS) in Belgium and the University of Vaasa in Finland. Fellows will work on research that supports climate-neutral innovation across a wide cleantech spectrum, including energy transition, renewables, grids, storage, hydrogen, energy efficiency, decarbonised heat, water, waste, recycling, circular economy, materials and depollution.
The call is designed for researchers who want to develop projects in areas such as sustainable mobility, buildings, industry, agriculture, food, responsible digital technology, green chemistry, biotechnology, sustainable electronics, and other innovations contributing to climate neutrality. Each fellow is supervised by a principal investigator at UMONS or UVAASA and completes a compulsory secondment of 3–6 months, giving the project an international and collaborative dimension.
Alongside the research project, the programme includes a structured training offer with entrepreneurship components. Fellows will be hired as researchers under the COFUND programme, with positions split across the two host institutions and embedded in the broader Horizon Europe framework. The opening is for a fixed-term research fellowship with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary cleantech research and mobility between partner environments.

What's required
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree at the call deadline (5 February 2027). Applicants of any nationality and any age are eligible. A mobility rule applies: applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the host country for more than 12 months in the three years preceding the deadline; the host country is Belgium for a PI at UMONS and Finland for a PI at UVAASA. Researchers currently based in one of the two countries may still be eligible for a fellowship in the other. Short stays such as holidays and time spent in a refugee status procedure under the 1951 Geneva Convention are not counted. Applicants must be fluent in English. The call is for experienced researchers with 4–10 years of research experience and an education level of PhD or equivalent.
