Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The real trap here is the word “aligned”: this position is not open-ended, it requires a project clearly tied to one of the TOGAS research themes. The second barrier, often more decisive than the strength of the file, is the MSCA mobility rule: it should be checked before investing time in writing. Since the complete application must be in English and only one proposal per candidate will be considered, the theme, the scientific summary, and the PhD proof must be locked in early. The right move is to check mobility first, then prepare a proposal tightly matched to a TOGAS theme and ready to submit as soon as the call opens.

Countries covered

Open to candidates of any nationality, provided they respect the MSCA mobility rule and hold the required PhD by the deadline. The decisive point is the MSCA mobility rule: you must not have lived or carried out your main activity in Belgium for more than 12 months in the 36 months before February 8, 2027. The PhD must be awarded, or the unconditional defense successfully completed, by that date. With five positions in total, one per theme, the opportunity is highly targeted.
