Psycholinguistics Postdoctoral Fellowship
 
The Marica De Vincenzi Foundation Onlus is inviting 
application for a 1-year fellowship, US $37,500 plus 
economy air fare, for Italian students to pursue 
post-doctoral study preferably in the US or in another 
country (Italy excluded), beginning in Fall 2011. The 
fellowship is for study and research in the area of 
grammatically-oriented psycholinguistics at an institution 
of the applicant's choice. Applications should be received 
by February 20, 2011 and it is expected that a decision 
will be announced by April 2, 2011.
 
Applications should be submitted electronically, in 
English, and should include:
-CV, including evidence of competence in spoken English
-A four-page statement of purpose describing the proposed 
plan of study/research
-Papers, reports, Ph.D dissertation written in English or 
Italian by the candidate. If the dissertation was written 
in Italian, the candidate should provide a 12 page summary 
written in English.
-The name and contact information for a sponsor at the 
University or research centre chosen, accompanied by a 
letter of agreement from the sponsor indicating the 
individual's willingness to serve as a sponsor if the 
fellowship is awarded

Candidates should arrange for three referees to submit 
confidential letters of reference via email 
borsedistudio at fondazionedevincenzi.org

Please write in the subject: F2011
In case the candidate does not hold the PhD at the 
deadline of submission of the application, the faculty 
advisor should send a statement of assurance that the PhD 
will be completed by July 31st, 2011.

In the evaluation of applications, the scholarly strength 
of the candidate, as well as the feasibility of the 
proposed research and its impact upon the applicant's 
career and potential for future impact on 
psycholinguistics in Italy, will be considered.

 

Applicants who plan to remain in their current institution 
should provide justification, and in cases of projects 
that require more than one year it is helpful to provide 
information on possible sources of funding beyond the 
initial year.

 

The amount of the fellowship will be deposited on a bank 
account the candidate will indicate as follows: US $ 
14,000 at departure, US $ 12,500 in March and the 
remaining US $ 11,000 in October upon receiving a report 
of the activities carried out. This report will be 
approved and signed by the sponsor of the host Institution 
and sent to the Fondazione. Should the fellowship holder 
decide to stop working on the project before the agreed 
period, or to take up a paid position, the amount of the 
award paid will be reduced proportionally (about US $ 
3.100 per month).

 

In due time the winner of the fellowship must send info 
about IBAN and bank account, about having obtained a valid 
visa (if required) for the intended period, and arrival 
and departure dates and locations.

 

The Fondazione expects the fellowship holder to 
acknowledge the Fondazione Marica De Vincenzi onlus in 
presentations at conferences during the year they are 
financially supported by the Fondazione, as well as in 
papers stemming from the research activity carried out in 
this period. Also, the fellows’ scientific involvement in 
the Fondazione’s research and training will be greatly 
appreciated.

 

Applications should be submitted to: 
borsedistudio at fondazionedevincenzi.org
 Receipt of all submitted material will be acknowledged by 
email.
