Good morning,

 

The Business and Local Government Data Research Centre is inviting postdoctoral researchers from the EU to apply for a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship to contribute to its Local Economic Growth research programme.

 

The Centre provides unique data services and a world-class facility that brings together the expertise of academic researchers, social scientists and data scientists to help organisations to solve real issues. It is hosted by the University of Essex, which ranks in the top 20 UK universities for research excellence and the top 5 for social science.

We are looking to support a small number of high-quality applications under the 2017 call and would welcome expressions of interest from interested researchers, particularly, but not exclusively, in the following areas:

·         Local Economic Growth

·         Innovation and Intellectual Property Management

·         Access to Finance among SMEs

 

For more information on the fellowship and to find out if you are eligible to apply, please visit: http://www.blgdataresearch.org/marie-fellowship/

 

The successful applicant[s] will be supported in completing their application by the scheme deadline of 14 September 2017.

 

Many thanks,

 

Holly
