The Deadline for Expressions of Interest for the 2023 round is 7th July 2023

Member Institutes and the Digital Humanities hub of the School of Advanced Study (SAS) and the University of London Institute in Paris (ULIP) welcome proposals from suitably qualified applicants for the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships 2023 scheme (previously known as Individual Fellowships). These prestigious grants support individual, transnational fellowships for promising researchers seeking employment in member states, associated countries and some non-associated countries. Applications to this scheme are made jointly by the researcher and host organisation.

The Funder's Application Deadline is: 13th September 2023

Process: Expressions of interest must be submitted by 17:00 (British Summer Time) on Friday 7th July 2023 to the director of their chosen institute, copying research@london.ac.uk. The expression of interest should include:

  • CV
  • A 100-word abstract
  • A short statement on the skills you believe will be enhanced through coming to the University of London and undertaking the fellowship (100 words maximum)
  • An outline (2 pages maximum) of the research proposal, including intended publication outputs
  • Identification of potential mentor (if not the director).

Applicants to be supported by the University will be informed by Friday 14th July 2023. At this point, the University protocols will be outlined to the applicants and all necessary support structures will be put in place to ensure the application can be submitted in time for the deadline.

In June 2023 the UK Research Office held a series of three excellent webinars about the scheme, which you can access via the following links: 

The Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies (then known as the Institute of Modern Languages Research) hosted a workshop on applications for this scheme on 7th July 2021 (while this workshop had a focus on Latin Americanists, it may still be of use to all applicants) - you can view the workshop presentation at the following page: https://www.sas.ac.uk/videos-and-podcasts/culture-language-and-literature/marie-curie-postdoctoral-fellowship-workshop 

We have produced a 'Frequently Asked Questions' document related to questions that arose from the above workshop, which you can download here.

 

Equality, diversity and inclusion
 
We prioritise creating an inclusive culture that promotes equality and diversity in all aspects of our practices and activities. We acknowledge that diversity and difference are fundamental to the success and growth of our university. We recognise that in higher education, there are underrepresented groups in the academic community. Therefore, we actively encourage applications from individuals who identify as part of an underrepresented group, including, but not limited to, women, ethnic minorities, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and individuals from low-income backgrounds. We value and appreciate the diverse perspectives and experiences that these individuals bring to the academic community and are committed to promoting a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
