If you from anywhere other than the UK and are looking for a post-doc opportunity in the UK, and are
trained in perception, action, language or embodied cognition type research, then
this is an excellent funding stream and we are both very interested in
hearing from you to come and work in our labs. Please feel free to contact us if interested, and please spread the word to other interested parties!
We are primarily interested in supporting a post-doc who is interested in helping us advance our work on an ecological approach to language and issues relating to how information gets its meaning, within our embodied cognition framework. These fellowships are highly competitive so you need to be good at what you do, and you need to work with us to develop an independent project so we can be sure we can support it.
*************************
A new round of Newton International Fellowships - an initiative
to fund research collaborations and improve links between UK and
overseas researchers - has now opened.
The Newton International Fellowships are funded by the British Academy
and the Royal Society and aim to attract the most promising early-career
post-doctoral researchers from overseas in the fields of the
humanities, the natural, physical and social sciences. The Fellowships
enable researchers to work for two years at a UK research institution
with the aim of fostering long-term international collaborations.
Newton Fellows will receive an allowance of £24,000 to cover subsistence
and up to £8,000 to cover research expenses in each year of the
Fellowship. A one-off relocation allowance of up to £2,000 is also
available.
In addition, Newton Fellows may be eligible for follow-up funding of up
to £6,000 per annum for up to 10 years following completion of the
Fellowship to support activities which will help build long term links
with the UK.
The scheme is open to post-doctoral (and equivalent) early-career
researchers working outside the UK who do not hold UK citizenship. Early career means having held no more than one or two brief post doc positions.
Applications are to be made via the Royal Society’s online application system which is available at https://e-gap.royalsociety.org/ The closing date for applications is Wednesday 10th April 2013 but you should aim to get it to the host organisation at least a week in advance.
