The
School of Music, Humanities and Media at the University of Huddersfield invites
proposals from researchers seeking to apply for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship 2018 based at the
University. Fellowships are of 12-36 months duration depending on the scheme. Deadline for submitting an Expression of
Interest to the University is Monday 23rd April.
Marie
Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships aim to enhance the creative and
innovative potential of experienced researchers, wishing to diversify their
individual competence through advanced training, international mobility and
intersectoral mobility. Individual Fellowships provide opportunities to acquire
and transfer new knowledge and to work on research and innovation in a European
context or outside Europe. They develop the careers of individual researchers
who show great potential and include a specific opportunity for those returning
to the profession. The proposal is built around a concrete plan of
training-through-research at the host organisation. In addition to research
objectives, this plan comprises the researcher’s training and career needs,
including training on transferable skills, planning for publications, and
participation in conferences. The scheme offers a highly competitive salary,
family allowance, and travel allowance, as well as research and training
expenses.
The
School will support up to 10 outstanding applications for Marie Skłodowska-Curie
Individual Fellowships for research projects in any field within any area of
the School including:
English
Creative
writing
History
Drama
Journalism
and Media
Linguistics,
Modern
languages
Music
(including popular music, performance, musicology, analysis)
Music
technology
Two schemes are available under this call:
The
European Fellowships - held in EU Member States or
Associated Countries and open to researchers either coming to Europe from any
country in the world or moving within Europe. Applicants cannot have resided or
carried out the main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the host country for
more than 12 months in the last 36 months before the call deadline. Fellowships
last for a duration of 12-24 months. An optional secondment period of up to 3
or 6 months in another organisation in Europe is eligible where this would
boost the impact of the fellowship.
A
Career Restart option and Reintegration to Europe option is available within
the European Fellowships scheme. The fellowship structure is the same, though
eligibility requirements for these routes differ. Please see the below link for
more information on these routes.
The
Global Fellowships – composed of an outgoing phase during
which the researcher first undertakes mobility to a partner organisation in a
Third Country (not an EU Member State or Associated Country) for an
uninterrupted period of between 12 and 24 months, followed by a mandatory
12-month return period to the single beneficiary located in a Member State or
Associated Country, in this case the University of Huddersfield. Applicants
must be a national or long-term resident of a Member State or Associated
Country (i.e. undertaken a period of full-time research activity in a MS/AC of
at least 5 consecutive years). The applicants must not have resided or carried
out the main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the Third Country where the
initial outgoing phase takes place for more than 12 months in the last 36
months immediately before the call deadline. An optional secondment period of
up to 3 or 6 months in another organisation in Europe is eligible where this
would boost the impact of the fellowship.

The funder’s deadline for the full application
is 12 September 2018. In order to allow time for mentoring and
development of full applications, expressions
of interest should be sent to Professor Monty Adkins (m.adkins@hud.ac.uk) by 5pm on Monday 23rd April,
consisting of two PDF documents:
1) a
two-page CV including education, publications, any awards, exhibitions;
2) a
two-page draft statement of the research project to be undertaken and intended
training/networking requirements.
A
selection process internal to the School of Music, Humanities and Media will
determine which proposals will go forward to a full application. A programme of
mentoring and development will be offered to applicants deemed successful in
this internal process.
