The number of MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship applications in 2026 (21,627) has more than doubled since 2024 (10,360 proposals) and more than tripled since 2022 (7,044). Stating the obvious here but this is not sustainable.

Come and work with us (the Kokkonuts) as a postdoc! Our research within (theory-evo-eco) is broad; let's say it's implicitly defined by the journal club papers we read. Which is why the application process includes a JC-related task, I hope it'll be a fun one for you! www.evoldir.net/brian/evoldi...
