Erasmus Mundus EMCL (European Masters in Clinical Linguistics) programme: invitation for visiting scholar applications

The Erasmus Mundus EMCL ('European Masters in Clinical Linguistics') course is a 15 months full-time interdisciplinary and transnational university programme at Masters level providing integrated training in theoretical and experimental neurosciences and psycholinguistics with clinical issues. The aim of the Masters 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, the student writes a Masters thesis and attends a summer school or conference organized for the consortium students. All courses are taught in English. 

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 accepted to the programme will receive a scholar mobility grant (? 4.000 per month). Prerequisites for application as visiting scholar to the EMCL programme are an active and excellent research record in the fields mentioned above and an excellent command of English, since all classes are taught in English.

Visiting scholars will join the programme for three months during the third (i.e. summer) term at the University of Potsdam. They are expected to actively participate in the programme, 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 1, 2006 (application deadline for the 2006/07 programme, which starts in September 2006). Admission of visiting scholars is decided on at the annual meeting of the Board of Studies. Admitted visiting scholars will join the EMCL-course during summer term 2007.
