Description:

Marie S. Curie FRIAS COFUND Fellowship Programme (FCFP)

The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) is the University of
Freiburg’s international research college. The Institute supports innovative
research projects through individual fellowships.

The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies announces the following

Individual Marie S. Curie FCFP fellowships for the academic year 2017/18
(Fellowships start: September 1, 2017)

- Junior fellowships (completed PhD plus one to six years post-doctoral
experience)
- Senior fellowships (completed PhD plus a minimum of six years post-doctoral
experience or a tenured professorship or equivalent permanent position)

The FCFP is intended for current or future leaders in their fields. About 25
FCFP fellowships are awarded through a highly competitive, strictly
merit-based selection process. Applications are invited from academics of all
nationalities and all disciplines. Note, however, that during the 3-year
period prior to the application deadline, applicants may not have resided or
have carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in Germany for more
than a total of 12 months.  

Fellowships of 3 to 10 months in the Senior scheme and of 12 months in the
Junior scheme may be applied for. They will allow researchers to conduct their
own research projects. 

Fellowships are awarded to individuals with challenging and innovative
research projects of high academic quality. The all-important selection
criteria are the academic excellence of both the applicant and of the project
proposal. Personal qualifications with regard to international expertise,
leadership skills and interdisciplinary interest are also taken into account
during the evaluation of the applications. Application is open to proposals
from all disciplines that can be supported at the University of Freiburg.

Successful applicants will become FRIAS fellows. Each fellow will receive an
internationally attractive living allowance (Junior: E 13 TV-L, ca. 54.000 €
p. a. pre-tax; Senior: W3-equivalent professorial salary, ca. 80.000 € p. a.
pre-tax, additional regulations apply for applicants with unlimited work
contracts at their home institution), mobility allowance and a research cost
contribution (theoretical sciences: up to 450 € per month, experimental
sciences: up to 1.050 € per month). A mentoring program is put in place for
each Junior Fellow in her/his career development.

FRIAS unites research in the humanities and social sciences, the natural
sciences, engineering and medicine. It is the aim of the Institute to support
academic exchange across existing boundaries: between disciplines, between
different cultures and countries, between established and younger researchers.

The institute provides its fellows with modern office space and an up-to-date
infrastructure. Fellows have full access to all library services from one of
the leading German university libraries. Special attention is given to fellows
who plan to come to Freiburg together with their families.

The FCFP call for applications is co-financed by the European Union’s Seventh
Framework Program (FP7) “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – People” (co-funding
of regional, national and international programs) and the State of
Baden-Württemberg. 

The completed FCFP application form together with the required documents has
to be uploaded on the application website for External Senior Fellowships or
Junior Fellowships and submitted by September 15, 2016.

Application Deadline: 15-Sep-2016

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
