About

msca_gf_2021

*** This is a collaboration with EURAXESS Korea and EURAXESS Japan.***

Are you keen to host a fully-funded Postdoc from Europe at your institution here in Southeast Asia? Fully-funded too? Join us for an information session on the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoc Global Fellowships (MSCA-PF-GF) - a fellowship for postgraduate researchers from Europe to carry out up to 2 years of fully-funded research at an institution anywhere in the world.

Any research performing institution in the world can be a host for recipients of Global Fellowships!

All areas of research are eligible under this scheme.

The MSCA Global Fellow will spend between 12 and 24 months conducting postdoctoral research at the institution outside of Europe. This is followed by a mandatory return phase of 12 months to be spend at a host institution in Europe. The entire duration of the Fellowship is funded by the EU.

The 2021 Call for Application will open in mid-May 2021 with a deadline of mid-September 2021.

The webinar will take place on 28 April at 9.00am Central European Time (GMT+7). The webinarwill be held in English.

The webinar will cover the following questions:

  • What is funded under this scheme?

  • Who is eligible to participate?

  • What is expected of the non-European host?

  • How do I identify a Fellow?

  • Where can I get information and support?

Who should attend?

Faculty and staff at any research performing institution based in Singapore, Japan and Korea who are interested in exploring the opportunity to host a MSCA Global Fellow are invited to attend this webinar!

Marlène Bartès is Policy Officer at Directorate General for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport (DG EAC), European Commission, Brussels, Belgium. She joined the European Commission in 2013, where she worked for the unit responsible for international cooperation and programmes in the field of education and training, focusing on collaboration with countries outside the EU. She joined the Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA) Unit in 2020, and currently follows different files including industrialised Asia, reducing the environmental impact of the MSCA programme, as well as support to researchers at risk.

Before joining the Commission, Marlène worked for the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) in Brussels, a dynamic think tank in the area of international cooperation in higher education. Her passion for international affairs started with her studies, which guided her from France, to Japan and Canada.

Orazio AIELLO

Orazio leads a MSCA IF-GF project named ULPIoT: Ultra-Low Power and Highly-Scalable Interfaces for the Internet of Things H2020-MSCA-IF-2015. The project is a joint collaboration between the National University of Singapore where he spent two years of his MSCA working with Prof. Massimo Alioto, and the Politecnico di Torino in Italy where he worked with Prof. Paolo Crovetti. ULPIo[1]T is intended to unify the design methodology of analog and digital Integrated Circuits (ICs). The possibility to exploit the digital (automated) design flow even for analog building blocks can dramatically reduce the design effort of any system-on-chip that face with analog signal. This is in order to address the fundamental challenges of size shrinking, reduction of design effort and energy-efficiency for the incoming Internet of Things (IoT) applications. From 2008 to 2009, he worked with the EMC Competence Center, Istituto Superiore Mario Boella, Turin, Italy. In 2012, he was a Visiting Ph.D. Student with Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. In 2013, he was part of a joint project with FIAT-Chrysler Automobiles, Turin. In 2014, he joined NXP Semiconductors, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, as a Mixed Signal IC Designer, and an EMC Expert. From 2015 to 2016, he was a Visiting Fellow with the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Orazio received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees (cum laude) from the University of Catania, Italy, in 2005 and 2008, respectively, the M.Sc degree (cum Claude) from the Scuola Superiore di Catania, Italy, in 2009, and the Ph.D. degree from the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 2013.

Jérémie MOLHO

Dr Jeremie Molho is a Marie Curie Global Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, Singapore. He is jointly affiliated with the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. Dr Molho’s project ‘HubCities’ was awarded a three years (2019-2021) funding as part of the European Union Horizon 2020 Marie Curie Actions. It aims to analyse how cities use of universities and cultural institutions as instruments in the governance of cultural diversity, to target and attract transnational publics, construct discursive frameworks that promote diversity and create third spaces where people of different cultural backgrounds come together and interact. It will use video as a methodological tool, to investigate the new spaces for culture and higher education planned in Doha and Singapore, and to contribute to the reflection on the role of such educational and cultural infrastructures in constructing civic spaces and stimulating interactions across diverse communities.

Dr Molho received a BA in Middle Eastern studies and a MA in urban studies from Sciences Po Paris and completed his PhD in geography in 2016 at the University of Angers, France. In his doctoral research, Jeremie analysed how cities outside of the West developed strategies to position themselves as global art market centres. He focused mainly on Istanbul, and conducted comparative fieldwork in Singapore and Hong Kong. In the last two years, he has been studying Singapore and Doha’s use of cultural policies to govern their diversity.

 

Federico PIANZOLA

Federico is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Researcher at the Department of Human Sciences for Education, University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy) and at the School of Media, Arts and Science, Sogang University (South Korea). He is also co-founder and managing editor of Enthymema, an Open Access international academic journal of theory, critics and philosophy of literature; member of the scientific advisory board of OPERAS (the Research Infrastructure supporting open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities in the European Research Area); and member of the governing board of IGEL (the International Society of the Empirical Study of Literature). Federico’s research concerns narrative theory and the impact of digital technologies on literature, especially regarding digital social reading and the use of Virtual Reality. In one sentence, he uses computational, qualitative, and quantitative methods to study reader response.
