City University London 博士後研究項目申請
我們學校最近加入WC2(World Cities, World Classes)協會，成為其創始成員之一，其他高校包括香港理工、柏林工大、英國倫敦城市大學City University London等。現在我們收到來自CUL的郵件，該校有兩個博士後研究名額由Leverhulme基金會資助，向全協會内部高校開放。申請者需在2011年12月12日（周一）前提交包括簡曆、研究計劃（不超過兩頁）、以及申請人可能為CUL做出的其他貢獻的簡要說明材料等在内的申請信息交到學院辦公室曾老師。博士後研究時間為9到12個月，具體資助款項請見下面英文郵件加粗部分。另外下面還有一些英文補充信息供參考。
City University London has been selected as one of twelve institutions to receive a grant from the Leverhulme Trust to cover two Fellowships, each for a period of 9 to 12 months, for overseas visitors during the academic year 2011/12.
The Fellowships are for postdoctoral academic researchers (or of equivalent status) who are not UK citizens, are permanently resident in any country other than the UK and intend to return to their country of residence at the end of the Fellowship.
There is no age limit but the scheme is primarily intended to support less experienced researchers, normally with no more than eight years of postdoctoral experience, who have not yet spent an extended period in the UK.
The Trust will not participate in the selection process but will approve the choice of Fellows before confirmation of an appointment is made.
Fellows are encouraged to give lectures and seminars and to participate in the intellectual life of the institution in addition to conducting research. A report to the Trust is required from the Fellow and the head of the department where he or she has been working within one month after the end of the period of appointment.
Funding includes subsistence (up to £1,900 per month), return travel fare, London Allowance at £275 per month and up to £790 for travel within the UK away from the host institution. An allowance of £410 per month is also available for an accompanying spouse or partner, subject to some conditions. No overheads or indirect costs will be paid. The subsistence allowance is not intended to constitute a salary: the awards are to enable work on a specific range of research activities for a period of fixed duration and therefore should not be construed as a contract of employment.
