The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Program (MSCFP) application is open to female candidates to support them in pursuing a career in nuclear science. Female applicants from IAEA Member States who are accepted/enrolled in a nuclear-related field will be eligible to apply for this opportunity.
The program aims to help women participate in the nuclear field and support an inclusive workforce that includes both men and women, who contribute to the area. Also, the fellows are expected to drive global scientific and technological innovation.
Young women can pursue a career in nuclear science by applying to the MSCFP. The MSCFP offers scholarships to selected candidates to pursue a Master’s degree in nuclear-related subjects, along with internship opportunities facilitated by the IAEA for up to 12 months.
IAEA awards scholarships annually to more than 100 students, subject to the availability of funds.To date, the MSCFP has supported 760 women from 129 countries, studying a diverse range of nuclear topics, in 76 countries worldwide. Consideration is given to the field of study, as well as geographic and linguistic diversity.
