The School of International Studies - SIS - at the University of Trento (Italy) welcomes expressions of interest from excellent postdoctoral researchers to apply, jointly with a research supervisor from SIS, to the European Commission Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship.
The Marie Skłodowska Curie Action is a funding scheme that supports researchers mobility: Individual Fellowships – European Fellowships may last 12-24 months involving a research project, advanced training and knowledge exchange at the host institution (SIS).
It offers a competitive salary, mobility and family allowances plus a budget for research and training costs; applicants are expected to have an excellent CV and a strong publication record.
Selected candidates will be offered both academic and administrative support from SIS faculty and the University of Trento Research Office with regards to the proposal development.
Research Areas
The School builds on the diverse disciplinary backgrounds of its faculty in a wide portfolio of multidisciplinary research programs addressing the challenges associated with the processes of globalization and European integration.
The complexity of modern societies implies that no single disciplinary approach is sufficient to understand the rapid social, political, economic and institutional changes currently occurring both in Europe and worldwide.
Research activities at SIS revolve around three main broad topics (for more information see Call text and the dedicated webpage on the SIS website).
