WARWICK GERMAN STUDIES The School of Modern Languages and Cultures (SMLC) at the University of Warwick invites expressions of interest for individual Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships https://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/node_en , to be held in one or more of its constituent sections (French Studies, German Studies, Hispanic Studies, Italian Studies). These fellowships, lasting two to three years (depending on the specific scheme), are meant for the most promising researchers, typically coming from outside the UK, or who will have been in the UK for less than 12 months by the application deadline in September. Fellows will find a stay at the host institution key to developing their research and skills and to exchanging research perspectives. Applicants need not be EU citizens or resident in the EU. Warwick SMLC invites suitably qualified candidates to submit an expression of interest. Successful applicants have typically published a monograph and are working on a new project, fitting into a particular research theme or cluster of excellence at the host institution. They are typically at least two or three years out of the doctorate. Mid-career and senior scholars are also eligible. Their curriculum needs to highlight the applicant's outstanding profile, for instance through fellowships, awards, and high-level publications. Warwick's School of Modern Languages and Cultures has expertise in all periods from the High Middle Ages up to the twenty-first century. It has close relationships with interdisciplinary research centres such as the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance, the Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature and the Arts, and the Yves Persaud Centre for Caribbean Studies. With around twelve postdoctoral fellows and around fifty postgraduate students currently working within the School, the environment for early-career researchers is a vibrant and welcoming one. Research fellows play a vital role in the research community, alongside academic staff of national and international renown.
