The EMCL visiting scholar initiative
|
Being part of the Erasmus Mundus initiative of the European Union, the EMCL programme offers 3 Erasmus Mundus mobility grants for visiting scholars from non-EU countries accepted to the programme. Each mobility grant amounts to EUR 4.000 per month.
We invite scholars from non-EU countries working in the fields of language processing, impaired and/or unimpaired language acquisition, neurolinguistics and/or clinical linguistics to submit applications for participation as a visiting scholar to the European Masters Programme in Clinical Linguistics (EMCL). Three visiting scholars will join the programme for a period of three months at the University of Potsdam (Germany).
Please find further information about the course, the application process as well as contact info below.

General information about the EMCL programme
|
The Erasmus Mundus EMCL ('European Master's in Clinical Linguistics') course is a 15 month full-time interdisciplinary and transnational university programme at Master's level. It provides integrated training in theoretical and experimental neurosciences and psycholinguistics with clinical issues. The aim of the Master's Course is to train highly qualified advanced students who are excellently prepared for research work and PhD programmes in the above fields.
The transnational consortium comprises four universities: Groningen (NL), Joensuu (FI), Milano-Bicocca (IT) and Potsdam (DE). The programme consists of three terms: the core courses offered in the first term aim at providing the students with general knowledge about the fields mentioned above. During the second and third term, the students attend specialised courses. For the second term, students may choose to move from their first host university to another one, while all students meet at the University of Potsdam during the third term. To finish the programme successfully, students write a Master's thesis. All courses are taught in English.

The Erasmus Mundus mobility scholarship for visiting scholars
|
The programme recruits students as well as visiting scholars worldwide. In order to encourage application by visiting scholars from all over the world and thus give the EMCL-programme a strong global profile, visiting scholars from non-EU countries accepted to the programme will receive an Erasmus Mundus scholar mobility grant (EUR 4,000 per month + a one-time lump sum for travel expenses of EUR 1,000). Prerequisites for application as visiting scholar to the EMCL programme are a PhD degree and an active and excellent research record in the fields mentioned above and an excellent command of English.

When, where and what?
|
Visiting scholars will join the programme for three months during the third (i.e. summer) term at the University of Potsdam (mid April - mid July 2009). Visiting scholars are expected to join the programme for the whole summer term, actively participate in the programme by offering a regular seminar, present their own work in research seminars and provide support and advice for the participating students and their research for the final theses.
Potsdam is a small, historic city neighbouring Berlin. Visiting scholars may stay at the university’s International Meeting Center for the Sciences in Potsdam or may organise a room/appartment in Potsdam or Berlin at their own initiative.
