Subject: CEFC fellowships
***********************************************************

The French Centre for Research on contemporary China (CEFC) invites
applications from researchers from EU member states or associated
countries for a one- or two-year research mobility project under the
current Call for Projects - International Outgoing Fellowships funded by
the European Framework Programme 7.
 

The CEFC, based in Hong Kong, is a multidisciplinary social science
research centre dedicated to the study of contemporary China.

The CEFC offers to host researchers working on contemporary China in the
area of social sciences and who want to submit a proposal within the frame
of this call.

How to apply: Interested researchers are invited to contact the Director
of the CEFC with a cv and a 1-page outline of their project, also
specifying the "return host organization", as early as possible, and no
later than 27 July 2012, by email only: sveg at cefc.com.hk

The CEFC is the only independent European research centre in China
entirely devoted to the study of contemporary China. A public research
institute, the CEFC is jointly funded by the French Foreign Ministry and
the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), with a mission to
study the political, economic, social and cultural developments in Greater
China.

The CEFC is based in Hong Kong, with a branch office in Taiwan, as well
individual researchers based in mainland China. It currently hosts 8 full
time researchers. 

The CEFC publishes the internationally ranked journal China Perspectives
every quarter, in English and French.

The Centre actively promotes doctoral research by funding mobility grants
and hosting the awardees in the Centre. The CEFC regularly organizes
research seminars and international conferences.

The CEFC is closely linked with academic and intellectual networks in
China thanks to its cooperation agreements with local institutions in Hong
Kong, Taiwan, Macau and the PRC, as well as a network of associate
researchers in these institutions.For more information, please see the

The International Outgoing Fellowships funded by the FP7

The European Commission published a Call for Projects "Marie Curie ­
International Outgoing Fellowships for Career Development"
(FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IOF), as part of its People Program (FP7) on 13 March
2012.

* Deadline: 16 August 2012 at 17.00.00, Brussels local time
* Indicative budget: EUR 40 million of the 2012 budget.

* Purpose: "This action aims to reinforce the international dimension of
the career of European researchers by giving them the opportunity to be
trained and acquire new knowledge in a high-level organization active in
research, established in an Other Third Country (Outgoing phase).
Subsequently, these researchers will return with the acquired knowledge
and experience to an organisation in a Member State or Associated Country"

* Type of Project funded: This action provides financial support to an
individual mobility project presented by an experienced researcher in
liaison with a host organisation in the Member States or Associated
Countries. Experienced researchers applying to this action need to develop
a coherent research training project for the total duration of the
contract that will enable the experienced researcher to progress in the
development of his/her career. The fellowship is expected to be part of a
structured, longterm personal career development plan that is coherent
with past achievements and clearly defines the future aims of the
researcher.

* Eligibility criteria:

­ Eligible researchers: The action addresses experienced researchers who
are at a stage of their career when they can benefit from a life-long
training and career development measure. This includes researchers with a
more senior profile in terms of experience. Researchers must be
experienced researchers at the relevant deadline for submission of
proposals.

­ Rules of mobility and nationality applicable to eligible researchers:
Researchers shall be considered eligible under this action if they are
nationals of a Member State or associated country. However researchers
from other third countries who have been residing and carrying out their
main activity in Member States or associated countries for at least the 5
years prior to the submission deadline are also eligible for this action.
For the outgoing phase, applicants must demonstrate mobility from a Member
State or associated country to an other third country, and must comply
with the rule for mobility at the deadline for submission of proposals.

­ The application is made jointly by a researcher and a return host
organisation. The outgoing host organisation must be located in an other
third country, and the return host organisation in a Member State or
associated country.

­ Projects must be between 24 and 36 months full-time equivalent in total,
of which the final 12 months must be a mandatory reintegration phase to
the return host organisation
.
