The Institute of Archaeology is supporting applications from eligible experienced researchers for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (MSCA-IF-2018) with an initial deadline of 12 June 2018 for consideration of applications.

Marie Skolodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships provide opportunities for experienced researchers to acquire and transfer new knowledge and to work on research and innovation in a European context (EU Member States and Associated Countries) or outside Europe. The Fellowships offer a highly competitive salary including an allowance (e.g. to cover travel, family and research costs).
