Offre de bourse post-doctorale – Irish Research Council

Offre de bourse post-doctorale – Irish Research Council

The Irish Research Council (IRC) has recently opened the Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme for 2016.  The scheme provides funding across all disciplines for one- and two-year postdoctoral research projects.  Applications may be made only with the support of a suitable Academic Mentor at an eligible higher education institution in the Republic of Ireland.

The Maynooth University Department of Ancient Classics will support outstanding applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships.  Anyone who may be interested in applying for a Fellowship through the Department should:

1.  Consult the detailed information concerning the Fellowships, including the terms and conditions, provided at http://www.research.ie/scheme/2016-government-ireland-postdoctoral-fellowship, noting in particular the eligibility criteria and the deadline dates.

2.  Seek to identify a suitable Mentor in the Maynooth University Department of Ancient Classics.  Details of the academic staff in the Department and their research interests may be found at https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/ancient-classics.

3.  Contact the potential Mentor directly to discuss the proposed project and its suitability for being undertaken under his or her Mentorship.  A good ‘fit’ between project and proposed Mentor is essential.

4.  Register as a prospective applicant with the Maynooth University Graduate Studies Office by completing the online form at http://goo.gl/forms/99s9oaO7YV, in order to receive updates about the call for applications.  It is not necessary to register for the on-campus information session to which the form refers, nor is it necessary to secure agreement from a potential Mentor before completing the form.  Please note, however, that registration as a prospective applicant does not imply that the Maynooth University Department of Ancient Classics will necessarily support an application from that prospective applicant.

Potential applicants should further note that these Fellowships are subject to intense competition, and that the Department will only support applications considered to have a very high chance of success.

Applications must be made through the IRC’s online submission system by the deadline of 16:00 GMT on Tuesday 24 November.  Please note that other deadlines, for referees, proposed Mentor, and the host institution, follow in short order.

Offre de bourse – The Pennsylvania State University

 

The Center for Humanities and Information at The Pennsylvania State University seeks up to four visiting fellows for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 academic years.

Taking “information” in its broadest possible senses, the Center aims to bring together a diverse, interdisciplinary group of scholars who read and think widely across fields, geographical space, and historical time. Fellowships are awarded at two levels: Senior Fellowships, appropriate for scholars employed in tenure-track positions at any level, are for one year, and carry no teaching obligation; Junior (postdoctoral) Fellowships are for two years, and require fellows to teach one course per year. Salaries for both Senior and Junior Fellows are $50,000; support also includes research/travel funding and a benefits package. Fellows have access to research design support, as well as to grant-writing and job market workshops, career mentoring, and archival/library support and research consultation. Fellows are expected to be in residence at Penn State’s University Park campus and to participate in the Center’s weekly lunches and lecture series.

Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent scholarly credentials (obtained by July 30, 2015) and a record of peer-reviewed work. Emerging scholars as well as senior scholars are encouraged to apply. CHI welcomes co-applications from groups of two or more people working on a single project. The fellowships are also open to projects oriented towards library and information science; for such projects a master’s degree in library/information science qualifies as “equivalent scholarly credentials.”

Screening of applications will begin January 15, 2016, although all applications will be considered until the search is concluded. To apply, upload a letter of application, a CV (please include names/emails of three references), and a writing sample of 25-30pp.  Applicants for Junior Fellowships should also upload a one-page description of an undergraduate course they might teach in their field of expertise. Apply online at  https://psu.jobs/job/60224.  Visit the CHI website at http://chi.la.psu.edu.
