Call for applications for STSM's
We invite for applications for Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) within our Action IS1307 – New Materialism: Networking European Scholarship on 'How Matter Comes to Matter’.
We are looking for applicants who want to visit partner institutions in the first half of Grant Year 4, that is, between May 1, 2017, and October 30, 2017.
DEADLINE for application is March 31, 2017.
A request for Chairs of the Working Groups: Please make sure to distribute this call to all your members of the working groups, also those who are not members of the MC.
In order to apply, each applicant has to register via COST site (https://e-services.cost.eu/stsm) and fill in all the necessary forms.
Attached please find the guidelines for application as well as information on the STSM procedure. Please keep in mind that the STSM cannot start before May 1, 201z and has to be completed before October 30, 2017.
The COST Action explicitly wellcomes applications from Early Career Investigators (PhD candidates and recent Doctors). We strive for an equal distribution among participating countries and wish our STSMs to be reciprocal (scholars from popular host institutions are encouraged to apply). But please consider the application criteria: The STSM co-operative work with your host institution / partner has to benefit the NM Cost-Action and the field at large with contributions; STSM are not for research, finishing work of the own PhD is not sufficient.
We are looking forward to receiving your applications!
The application has to include: the application form from COST, a short CV, a Letter of Intent (decribing your aims, goals, propective benefits and contributions to the network) and a confirmation of the HOST Institution / coopertive partner for acceptance of your stay.
Please send the whole application (not in parts) to to sigrid.schmitz@univie.ac.atmailto:sigrid.schmitz@univie.ac.at by March 31, 2017, at the latest.
With kind regards,
(on behalf of the Management Committee)
Sigrid Schmitz, Björn Thorsteinsson, and Dorota Golańska
