Bolsas Individuais Marie Skłodowska-Curie — Manifestação de interesse

The Institute of Contemporary History (IHC), a leading research centre in modern and contemporary history located in Portugal, welcomes applications for Marie Curie Fellowships, acting as host institution, from researchers interested in developing their studies of the past in the following main areas — that correspond to our strategic lines of research:

1. Connected Histories: State-Building, Social Movements, and Political Economy
2. Colonialism, Anti-Colonialism, and Post-Colonialism
3. Precarious Worlds and Sustainability: Nature, Health, and Work
4. Modern Mediations: Arts, Technology, and Communication
5. Uses of the Past: Memory and Cultural Heritage
6. Digital humanities

The IHC has facilities both at the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, in Lisbon, and at the University of Évora. It was graded as “excellent” in the last international FCT assessment and develops its activity with an interdisciplinary approach, covering a wide range of topics concerning the conceptualisation, contextualisation, and interpretation of the historical reality for the period between the late eighteenth century and the present time. Furthermore, in 2019, we launched the first Portuguese Digital Humanities Lab, supporting both research and outreach activities.

Working at the IHC means to be a member of a multicultural, creative, collaborative, and publicly engaged environment that gathers more than 300 researchers. As a modern and contemporary history research unit working on a broad range of themes, we regularly collaborate with the media, museums, archives, city councils, and high schools. Every researcher is integrated into one of our seven Research Groups.

We welcome applications in the category of Individual Fellowships, including European Fellowships, Global Fellowships, Career Restart Panel, and Reintegration Panel. Applicants with a relevant track record of securing funding for their research activities are especially welcomed.

To apply, please send us the following documents and information:

1. Title and summary of the work plan (written in English, according to the guidelines provided in the online form);
2. A detailed Curriculum vitae;
3. A motivation letter explaining your trajectory in the last five years and explaining the relevance of your achievements (max. 5000 characters);
4. One copy of a relevant publication.
