The University College London Institute of Archaeology is supporting applications for Marie Sklodowska-Curie and British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships with an internal deadline of 13 July 2023 for consideration of applications. 

Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships are provided to excellent researchers, undertaking international mobility either to, or between, EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries, as well as to non-associated Third Countries. The goal of MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a PhD and who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training, international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral mobility. 

Applications are made jointly by the researcher and a beneficiary in the academic or non-academic sector.

It is essential that applicants make contact in advance with a relevant member of Institute of Archaeology academic staff who should agree to be their mentor and jointly complete their draft application, using the templates for this year's competition via the EC Funding & Tenders website. Applicants will be required to confirm their own eligibility, in terms of research experience and mobility, following the criteria set out there. Mentors will be required to provide a statement of support for the application by 13 July 2023.

British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships
The British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship is a three-year fellowship for outstanding early career researchers in the humanities and social sciences. The scheme provides funding to cover the costs of a 36-month fellowship at a UK host institution, and enables the award holder to pursue an independent research project, towards the completion of a significant piece of publishable research. Applicants must be within three years of the award of a doctorate and may only apply once in the three years they are eligible.

Applicants must be either a UK/EEA national, or have completed a doctorate at a UK university. Applicants who do not fall into one of these categories must demonstrate a 'strong prior association' with the UK academic community. Applicants are required to confirm their own eligibility to apply to the scheme.

Prospective applicants are required to identify a suitable mentor in the Institute of Archaeology and work together on the application with them. Mentors are also required to submit a statement of support by this deadline indicating how applications meets the criteria given below. Late or incomplete applications or those without the agreed support of a mentor will not be considered.
