Erasmus Mundus EMCL (European Masters in Clinical Linguistics) programme:invitation for visiting scholar applications
The Erasmus Mundus EMCL (‘European Masters in Clinical Linguistics’) courseis a 15 month full-time interdisciplinary and transnational universityprogramme at the Masters level providing integrated training in theoreticaland experimental neurosciences and psycholinguistics with clinical issues.The aim of the Masters Course is to train highly qualified advancedstudents who are excellently prepared for research work and PhD-programmesin the above fields.
The transnational consortium comprises four universities: Groningen (NL),Joensuu (FI), Milano-Bicocca (IT) and Potsdam (DE). The programme consistsof three terms: the core courses offered in the first term aim at providingthe 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 hostuniversity to another one, while all students meet at the University ofPotsdam during the third term. To finish the programme successfully, thestudent writes a Masters thesis and attends a summer school or conference.All courses are taught in English.
The programme recruits students worldwide and visiting scholars fromnon-European countries. In order to encourage application by visitingscholars from outside of Europe and thus give the EMCL-programme a strongglobal profile, visiting scholars accepted to the programme will receive ascholar mobility grant (€ 4.000 per month). Prerequisites for applicationas visiting scholar to the EMCL programme are an active and excellentresearch record in the fields mentioned above and an excellent command ofEnglish, since all classes are taught in English.
Visiting scholars will join the programme for three months during the third(i.e. summer) term at the University of Potsdam. They are expected toactively participate in the programme, present their own work in researchseminars and provide support and advice for the participating students andtheir research for the final theses.
We invite highly qualified scholars from all over the world to submit theirapplications until January 1, 2007 (application deadline for the 2007/08programme, which starts in September 2007).
