The Canon Foundation in Europe offers, in cooperation with the European University Institute in Florence, a cosponsored Research Fellowship to be carried out in Europe or Japan. The fellowships are intended to support post-doctoral research by academics in the early stages of their professional career, in any of the research areas of the European University Institute.
WORTH
- The stipend is £2,000 per month. Successful applicants benefiting from other grants or salaries must disclose this to the Canon Foundation in Europe and the European University Institute, as the amount of the fellowship will be fixed at a lower rate (£ minimum 1,250 per month) in function of the additional income
- Fellows (but not their families) receive one tourist class return trip from their home town to Florence (calculated no to exceed £1,200)
- The fellow takes care of the visa arrangement and can ask the European University Institute for assistance.
ELIGIBILITY
- Open to candidates who have successfully defended their PhD at the time of the start of the Fellowship (September 1)
- Appropriate extensions to the five year rule will be allowed in the case of applicants whose academic career has been interrupted because of maternity leave or illness.
