University College London Institute of Archaeology is recognised as one of the leading academic departments of Archaeology in the UK and worldwide. The Institute of Archaeology is supporting applications from eligible experienced researchers for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (MSCA-IF-2020) with an initial deadline of 8 June 2020 (5pm) 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). 

This fellowship is funded for 2 years in the first instance.

Applicants are strongly advised to make contact at the earliest opportunity with their proposed mentor at the Institute of Archaeology who should assist with the completion of their draft applications.
