[ANPPOM-Lista] Marie Sklodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellowships

[Carlos Palombini]

If you have a PhD or more than 4 years of equivalent post-doctoral level
research experience, you could apply for an EU funded MSCA fellowship to
work as a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Huddersfield.
Our Music and Music Technology subject area have 2 current successful
grants under this scheme, and we can provide excellent assistance in
putting together an application. Brexit does not affect these applications,
which are available at least for the following year. The scheme is well
funded, and there is a generous living grant as well as research costs
available. You do not have to be an EU national, one current fellow is from
the USA.



If you have a PhD (recent or not), are based outside the UK and wish to
work with us in Huddersfield for up to 2 years as a researcher, please do
get in touch if you are interested in applying for the scheme.



Our department has particular interests in

   - Electronic Dance Music
   - Songwriting
   - Composition
   - Popular music practice
   - music and gender
   - art of record production
   - sonic signatures
   - music and religion/spirituality
   - popular music performance
   - music and gender
   - music and film
   - film music composition
   - experimental popular music
   - stardom/fandom/celebrity
   - Interactive sound design/music coding
   - 3D sound



But we would be open to applications in any area. Practice based research
projects, that involve a mixture of creative and contextual study are
common in our department.

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.





For *both the European and Global Fellowships* the below salary and
expenses details apply:

Salary
€6,822.24 a month

Family Allowance (where applicable)            €500 a month

Mobility Allowance                                            €600 a month

Research, training and networking activities              €800 a month





*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 em hud.ac.uk*
<m.adkins em 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.
