The School of Law, Politics & Sociology is keen to encourage application from post-doctoral scholars wishing to apply for any of the following Marie Curie schemes:
1. Intra-European Fellowship (IEF), typically aimed at named experienced researchers (post-doc, any nationality)currently residing in a European country who would be hosted during the fellowship for up to two years at an institution located in a different European country, like the University of Sussex. Through IEF, the MC fellows would acquire new research skills through research and training activities in order to attain and/or strengthen a leading independent position.
2. International Incoming Fellowship (IIF), aimed at named experienced researchers (any nationality) residing outside the EU who would be hosted during the fellowship for up to two years at an institution located in the EU, like the University of Sussex. Through IIF, the MC fellows would carry out research and take part in knowledge transfer (transfer of know-how) activities to benefit the host institution, with a view to developing mutually beneficial research co-operation in the future.
3. International Outgoing Fellowship (IOF), aimed at named experienced European researchers (post-doc) who would be hosted during the fellowship, first, at an institution located outside the EU (for up to two years) followed by an institution located in the EU, like the University of Sussex (for one year). Through IOF, the MC fellows would develop the international dimension of their career and have the opportunity of training to acquire new knowledge in a high-level research organization.
The next call in FP7 will open on 13 March 2012 with a deadline of 12 August 2012. The successful fellowship projects will be able to start between March 2013 and mid-2014.
Any potential applicants interested in applying to work at Sussex under these or any other post-doctoral schemes should make informal contact with either individual faculty members that they identify as potential mentors, or Professor Paul Webb, the School's Director of Research and Knowledge Exchange at: p.webb@sussex.ac.uk
