Call for applications: transatlantic student/postdoc/staff exchanges

[Marc Schoenwiesner <marcs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

The Erasmus Mundus training network in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience  
is accepting applications for student and staff exchanges between the  
EU and North-America. Please see below for details.
In a nutshell, the program gives attractive monthly stipends and  
travel funds to send students, postdocs, and PIs to a member lab  
across the Atlantic. We are unlikely to fill all exchange spots with  
students from the member labs, and encourage applications from  
students, post doctoral fellows, and staff members working in auditory  
neuroscience at universities or institutes in one of the participating  
countries: Germany, UK, France, Finland, Canada, and the USA.

Call for applications: Six to ten month mobility fellowships in  
Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience (deadline: June 15th, 2011)

Description: The ERASMUS MUNDUS ACN training network is recruiting  
graduate students and postdocs working in the field of Auditory  
Cognitive Neuroscience to participate in transatlantic exchanges  
between the member universities and institutions.

Stipends: Awards include a monthly stipend of 1500 EUR (doctoral  
level), 1800 EUR (postdoctoral level), or 2500 EUR (PIs and staff),  
and a one?time lump sum of 2000 EUR for travel expenses.

Eligibility: Ph.D. students, post?docs and staff members at all  
partner institutions are eligible to apply. Applications from students  
at any other institution of higher education in the partner countries  
(Germany, UK, France, Finland, Canada, USA) will be accepted as well,  
but priority is given to applications from within the network.  
Students are expected to conduct research with a PI at a member  
institution.

Duration: Student fellowships are awarded for 6?10 months at one of  
the partner locations across the Atlantic. Travel may begin as early  
as July 1st 2011, but must begin before December 31st 2011. The total  
time of the exchange may be divided into two or more trips, if the  
project clearly requires this (the travel lump?sum is only awarded  
once). Staff fellowships are awarded from 1?3 months. Staff  
applications are accepted at any time.

Guidelines: Please examine carefully the research interests of the  
participating scientists. Detailed descriptions of research  
opportunities can be found at their websites (listed on ?Participating  
Scientists? page). We strongly recommend that applicants first contact  
the prospective supervisors via email to discuss possible research  
projects. Complete the application form (Download on ?Apply for a  
Grant?) and obtain the signature of your current and the proposed  
supervisor on this application. In addition, applicants must arrange  
to have recommendation letters submitted by the current and the  
proposed supervisor. A curriculum vita should also be sent with the  
application package. Applications are to be sent to acn@uni?leipzig.de  
by June 15th, 2011. Awards announcements are expected to be made  
within three weeks.
