[Commlist] Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship - applications invited

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 2020 *based at the 
University. Fellowships are of 12-36 months duration depending on the 
scheme. All candidates must be in possession of a doctoral degree or 
have at least four years of full-time equivalent research experience 
*Deadline for submitting an Expression of Interest to the University is 
Friday 3^rd April by 5pm.*

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:

Media, Journalism and Film/TV

English

Creative writing

History

Drama

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 the Fellowships the following salary and expenses details will apply 
when the fellow is based at Huddersfield (during the outgoing phase of 
the Global Fellowship the salary rate is dependent on the particular 
rate applicable to the hosting Third Country – please see the Horizon 
2020 Work Programme at the link below for further information}:
