Summary
Charleston stands for CHARLES University Programme for Sustainable Goals, Training, Openness and Novelty in Research. It's a unique opportunity, inviting 20 exceptional postdoctoral researchers from any nationality, provided they meet the MSCA mobility condition and have a doctoral degree with up to eight years of research experience.
Central to the programme are three key objectives: fostering progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), enhancing support for postdoctoral career advancement, and offering fellows enriching intersectoral experiences. Charleston stands out for its merit-based selection process, overseen by independent evaluators in line with Charles University's commitment to equal opportunities.
As a mono-beneficiary project, Charles University not only administers but also directly benefits from this programme, hosting research across its 21 diverse faculties and departments. The heart of Charleston lies in its robust 24-month fellowship at Charles University, supplemented by a mandatory three to six months of practical experience in non-academic settings. This structure is deliberately designed to stimulate curiosity-driven research across various scientific fields, closely tied to the SDGs.
More than just a funding mechanism, Charleston is a holistic journey in postdoctoral career, involving a network of partners for hosting, training, and broad dissemination of research findings. It also provides its fellows with competitive remuneration, including mobility and family allowances, underscoring its dedication to supporting researchers both professionally and personally.
