EURAXESS CELAC Funding opportunities Dear readers, "EURAXESS – Researchers in Motion" is a European Commission initiative focused on researcher mobility and career development. EURAXESS is active in 40 European countries and has representatives in six countries/regions around the world, including Brazil since 2013.

EURAXESS CELAC Funding opportunities is a list of open calls to fund researchers’ mobility, compiled by the EURAXESS CELAC team. The information contained in this publication is intended for personal use only. It should not be taken in any way to reflect the views of the European Commission nor of the Delegations of the European Union in the region. Please email [email protected] with any comments on this list, contributions you would like to make, if you think any other colleagues would be interested in receiving this document, or if you wish to unsubscribe. Editors: Charlotte GRAWITZ, EURAXESS CELAC, Country Representative, Ingrid Le Van, Programme Officer

Since March 2017, EURAXESS Brazil has turned into EURAXESS Latin America and Caribbean States and is gradually extending some of its activities to other countries of the region. Our flagship publication, the EURAXESS Brazil list of funding opportunities is now gaining a CELAC version for researchers from Latin America and Caribbean States (in addition to the Brazilian edition). In this document, we compile a list of open calls to fund researchers mobility. The jobs, grants and fellowships announced are funded by the European Commission, EU member states or associated countries as well as private institutions. This list is published on a regular basis. This edition is valid for July and August. To find more opportunities, we invite you to consult the EURAXESS Portal, and more specifically the: 

EURAXESS Job database that lists thousands of vacancies from more than 40 European countries and other regions in the world.



And the Funding database allowing you to search for the funding programme you need for your mobility or research cooperation project.

Please note that individual researchers can upload their CVs on the portal, register their searches and create alerts to be informed when a vacancy matching their profile has been published. Funding organisations can publish their funding opportunities and scholarships on the EURAXESS website to increase their visibility and reach the best candidates worldwide. We hope this list will help you turn your interest in research mobility into reality and remain at your disposal to discuss your projects. Your EURAXESS CELAC Team

ERC Synergy Grants WHAT? European Research Council ERC Synergy Grants are designed to tackle truly bold scientific challenges by funding groups of up to 4 excellent PIs who jointly address the frontier of knowledge. WHO? This action is open to researchers of any nationality with early achievement or a 10-year track-record who intend to conduct their research activity in any Member State or Associated Country. The ERC's frontier research grants operate on a 'bottom-up' basis without predetermined priorities. ERC Synergy Grants in brief: European Research Council (ERC) funding schemes are open to top researchers of any nationality or age who wish to carry out their frontier research in the 28 EU Member States or associated countries.

 

  

Fund a small group of PIs (2 to 4) with a designated corresponding PI who applies. Research projects must tackle ambitious scientific challenges through a unique combination of skills and knowledge of the PIs. Applications must demonstrate that the proposed research cannot be carried out by a single PI working alone. Any field of research. For researchers of any nationality presenting an early achievement track-record or a ten-year track-record Research must be conducted by all PIs in public or private research organisation(s) located in one of the EU Member States or Associated Countries (including Switzerland). PIs can apply within the same host institution (HI) or through different HIs.

The call will be open to consortia of organisations such as universities, research centres or companies, that propose a research training network, including Brazilian institutions that can join a consortia to submit a proposal. There are three types of Innovative Training Networks 1.

European Training Networks (ETN)

Joint research training, implemented by at least three partners from in and outside academia. The aim is for the researcher to experience different sectors and develop their transferable skills by working on joint research projects. The organisations should be established in at least three different EU or associated countries. Additional participants from any organisation anywhere in the world, including Brazil can also join a network. 2.

All eyes on the Amazon’ project, which brings together 11 institutions from Europe, North America and South America to work towards the goal of combatting deforestation in the Amazon. Consortium partners include Greenpeace, Hivos, World Resources Institute, Digital Democracy, Witness, University of Maryland, and COICA. Within this consortium, ISS is chiefly responsible for monitoring and evaluating the impact of anti-deforestation strategies both in terms of concrete outcomes as well as through the assessment of socioeconomic and environmental institutions.

Successful candidates will be expected to develop and pursue their individual PhD research while contributing to a project carried out by an international consortium of academics, activists and non-governmental organisations. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the broader project, candidates with an interdisciplinary background as well as willingness to conduct long‐term participatory field research in the Amazon will be particularly focused on. The selected candidates will pursue their degrees as part of the ISS PhD in Development Studies. While the academic home of PhD researchers will be the International Institute of Social Studies – Erasmus University Rotterdam, it is expected that their individual projects will require them to spend extensive periods in one (or a combination) of the three countries.
