Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships: Call for Expressions of Interest
Social Sciences at the University of Southampton is recognised for conducting world-class theoretical, methodological and empirical research. We are keen to build on our strengths and international interests by supporting high quality applications to the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships scheme.
The Marie Curie scheme offers the opportunity for the best and most promising post-doctoral researchers to come to the UK to work with a supervisor for between 12-24 months. The grant provides an allowance to cover your living, travel and family costs in line with Marie Curie scheme rates. For more information about the Fellowships please visit the European Commission website
Social Sciences has a vibrant and supportive interdisciplinary research culture, with much of our research carried out in our specialist research centres. We work collaboratively with a range of EU and other international partner organisations.

We invite expressions of interest from postdoctoral scholars (up to 5 years from doctorate) with outstanding potential to work with us on cutting edge research projects that will make an original and significant contribution in their field.

- Gender equality at work
- Gender and health
- Migration
- Population change
- Environmental change
- Organisational boundaries and security
