International Postdoctoral Funding Opportunities
Organised by the Freelance and Independent Group
12 February 2013, 1:00-5:00pm
The Gallery, AAH Headquarters
70 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EJ
This event will provide independent, freelance and early career art
historians with invaluable information about international postdoctoral
opportunities, and will allow them to liaise in an informal context with
funding body professionals and advisors. The workshop will include
presentations from three visiting speakers, each followed by a Q&A
and discussion relating to eligibility and application procedures.
Following presentations, refreshments will be provided and participants
will have a chance to ask further questions and discuss individual
proposals within smaller specialised groups. A printed handout from each
presentation will also be made available on the day.
Speakers:
Dr Ian Lyne
Associate Director of Programmes, Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)
Ian specialises in career development for researchers, including AHRC’s postgraduate and fellowship funding, and its International Placement Scheme. He will be talking about AHRC funding opportunities for supporting international collaborations and visits, as well as the role of the Research Councils’ international teams in supporting the development of international research opportunities with other funding agencies.
Emma Carey
Former European Advisor, UK Research Office (UKRO)
Emma worked at the AHRC for six years before moving to UKRO, where she spent four years focusing on social sciences and humanities funding and acting as the National Contact Point for the Marie Curie Actions. She will focus on European Research Council schemes, including Framework Programme 7, the main EU funding programme for research (due to finish at the end of 2013), and its replacement programme, Horizon 2020, which will run until 2020.
