[ecrea] Call for expressions of interest for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship applications - Department of Informatics and Media at Uppsala University

Call for expressions of interest for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual 
Fellowship applications

The Marie Sklodowska-Curie action has a long tradition of facilitating 
European research exchanges. Amongst others, the action awards 
"individual, trans-national fellowships [...] to the best or most 
promising researchers for employment in EU Member States or Associated 
Countries, based on an application made jointly by the researcher and 
host organisation in the academic or non-academic sectors," as can be 
read on the European Commission's Marie Sklodowska-Curie website.

We want to call for expressions of interest from experienced researchers 
to apply for an Individual Fellowship (IF) within the framework of the 
Marie Sklodowska-Curie action, to be hosted within the Media and 
Communication Studies (MCS) Unit of the Department of Informatics and 
Media at Uppsala University (Sweden).

More specifically, we want to call for candidates who wish to work 
within the field of post-structuralist media studies.

The following conditions of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie action need to be 
taken into account:
* Within the action, "experienced researchers" are defined as people 
who, at the deadline for the submission of proposals, are in possession 
of a doctoral degree or have at least four years of full-time equivalent 
research experience.
* The researcher may be of any nationality.
* The researcher shall not have resided or carried out their main 
activity (work, studies, etc) in Sweden for more than 12 months in the 3 
years immediately prior to the reference date.
* The researcher must move or have moved from any country to Sweden.
* The duration of an Individual Fellowship is between 12 and 24 months.
* Financial support for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship 
consists out of a living allowance, mobility allowance and family allowance.

More information can be found at the webpage of the Marie 
Sklodowska-Curie call (see below).

Expressions of interest should be communicated to Prof. Dr. Nico 
Carpentier at <(nico.carpentier /at/ im.uu.se)>, before 1 July 2016, at 17:00 CET.

An expression of interest should contain the following components:
* An academic CV
* A motivation letter (which also addresses the benefits of moving to 
Sweden)
* A one page note on the planned research project within the field of 
post-structuralist media studies
* One sample of your work (preferably an article or book chapter, with a 
max. of 10000 words)

Candidates are requested, before submitting an expression of interest, 
to carefully read the call documents that can be found at the webpage of 
the Marie Sklodowska-Curie call (see below), in particular the Guide for 
Applicants IF 2016.

Candidates that have their expressions of interest approved are expected 
to work with their supervisor on a proposal that will have to be 
submitted electronically, using the European Commission's Online 
Submission Service (SEP), before 17 September 2016, 17:00 CET.
