[mboehning at googlemail.com]

Erasmus Mundus EMCL (European Masters in Clinical Linguistics)
programme:

+++ Call for applications as EMCL visiting scholar +++

We invite scholars from non-EU countries working in the fields of
language processing, impaired and/or unimpaired language acquisition,
neurolinguistics and/or clinical linguistics to submit applications
for participation as a visiting scholar to the European Masters
Programme in Clinical Linguistics (EMCL). Four visiting scholars will
join the programme for a period of three months at the University of
Potsdam (Germany) during the summer term 2009.

The EMCL programme is part of the Erasmus Mundus initiative of the
European Union (see
http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/mundus/index_en.html for
information on the initiative). The Erasmus Mundus programme provides
a scholar mobility grant of EUR 4.000 per month for visiting scholars
from non-EU countries accepted to the programme.

Please find further information about the course, the application
process as well as contact info below.


The EMCL programme

The Erasmus Mundus EMCL ('European Master's in Clinical Linguistics')
course is a 15 month full-time interdisciplinary and transnational
university programme at Master's level. It provides integrated
training in theoretical and experimental neurosciences and
psycholinguistics with clinical issues. The aim of the Master's Course
is to train highly qualified advanced students who are excellently
prepared for research work and PhD programmes in the above fields.

The transnational consortium comprises four universities: Groningen
(NL), Joensuu (FI), Milano-Bicocca (IT) and Potsdam (DE). The
programme consists of three terms: the core courses offered in the
first term aim at providing the students with general knowledge about
the fields mentioned above. During the second and third term, the
students attend specialised courses. For the second term, students may
choose to move from their first host university to another one, while
all students meet at the University of Potsdam during the third term.
To finish the programme successfully, students write a Master's
thesis. All courses are taught in English.


The Erasmus Mundus mobility scholarship for visiting scholars

The programme recruits students as well as visiting scholars
worldwide. In order to encourage application by visiting scholars from
all over the world and thus give the EMCL-programme a strong global
profile, visiting scholars from non-EU countries accepted to the
programme will receive an Erasmus Mundus scholar mobility grant (EUR
4.000 per month + a one-time lump sum for travel expenses of EUR
1,000). Prerequisites for application as visiting scholar to the EMCL
programme are a PhD degree and an active and excellent research record
in the fields mentioned above and an excellent command of English.


When, where and what?

Visiting scholars will join the programme for three months during the
third (i.e. summer) term at the University of Potsdam (mid April - mid
July 2009). They are expected to actively participate in the programme
by offering a regular seminar, present their own work in research
seminars and provide support and advice for the participating students
and their research for the final theses.

We invite highly qualified scholars from all over the world to submit
their applications until January 15, 2008 (application deadline for
the 2008/09 programme). For more detailed information on the
