British EPSRC ADVANCED AND SENIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

The UK Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) offers
over 40 Advanced and Senior Fellowships to allow outstanding researchers
up to 5 years full-time research; open to tenured/non tenured candidates
whose research falls within the scope of the EPSRC (for example,
Corpus-based research in speech and language technology).
There are no nationality eligibility criteria, but you must have a host
organisation in the UK; for example, we at Leeds University host an
Advanced Fellow originally from the Netherlands, Rens Bod (and we will be
happy to host further Advanced/Senior Fellows).

The closing date for completed applications for EPSRC's Advanced and Senior
Research Fellowships is 8 September 2000.

Further information, including a set of Frequently Asked Questions and the
application form, is available on the EPSRC website at:

   Subject: EU Funding for Experienced Researchers (fwd)

This memo from Leeds University European Office may be of wider interest
to researchers in industry and universities across Europe:

---------- Forwarded message ----------

> Dear Colleague
>
> As well as awarding fellowships to young researchers, the EU-funded Marie
> Curie scheme also funds two types of fellowships for
> **experienced researchers**.  This experienced researcher scheme
> is very much undersubscribed and the success rate is well in
> excess of 50%, so if you are planning a period of study leave in
> another European country in the near future the scheme is worth
> considering.
>
> Two strands are available:
>
> ********Industry/Academia Scheme
>
> This scheme allows university researchers to undertake research within a
> company; the scheme is also available to individuals working in
> industry who wish to spend time in a university.
>
> *********Less Favoured Regions Scheme
>
> This scheme encourages mobility between less favoured regions
> (see list at www.cordis.lu/improving) and other parts of the EU and
> Associated states.  The scheme funds stays at Universities in less
> favoured regions by researchers from other parts of Europe and vice
> versa.
>
> In the case of both schemes the following applies:
>
> - researcher must have 10 postdoc or 14 postgraduate years of
> experience and must have been working at their home institution
> for at least the last five years
>
> - the stay can be for between 3 and 12 months (short visits are
> allowable as long as they add up to a total of at least three months)
>
> - the applicant must be an EU citizen (or member of an associated
> state) and be proposing to undertake research in an eligible
> country *other than their own* , and must have agreement of proposed
> host
>
> - funding covers salary costs plus bench fees
>
> The next deadline for this scheme is 13 September 2000
