The EU project ELIT<\/a>, funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme, has launched a call for applications for 10 PhD positions on empirical study. The project is coordinated by prof. Massimo Salgaro of the University of Verona<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The call for applications<\/a> is published on the ELIT website and applications will be accepted until 15 June 2020 at 14:00 (Central Europe Time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s ELIT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ELIT (Empirical study of Literature Training Network)<\/a> is an Innovative Training Programme funded by the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 Programme among the Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The network<\/a> consists of ten European Universities<\/strong> that are at the forefront of the empirical study of reading literature. In addition, the network includes thirteen non-academic partners<\/strong> from domains such as literacy (i.e., literacy associations, reading foundations, educational policymakers), bibliotherapy (i.e., reading groups, libraries), production (i.e., publishing houses), and research (i.e., international research networks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the ELIT is to arrive at a profound understanding of the underlying processes and societal effects of reading<\/strong>. This requires an integration and close cooperation between two research cultures that are commonly separated, namely the social sciences and the humanities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ELIT structure in a nutshell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ELIT aims to train a new generation of creative, innovative and interdisciplinary early-stage researchers (i.e., PhD-candidates) in the empirical study of literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this purpose, a European Joint Doctorate<\/strong> has been established: each early-stage researcher will be enrolled in a doctoral programme involving two universities and leading to a joint or double doctoral title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who can apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Applicants must meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Education Level<\/strong>: They must have a master\u2019s degree or equivalent degree that grants access to PhD programmes<\/li>
  2. Research Experiences<\/strong>: At the time of recruitment, they must not have already a doctoral degree and they must have less than 4 years (full-time equivalent) of experience in research.<\/li>
  3. International mobility<\/strong>: They are required to move from one country to another one when taking up the appointment. More precisely, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Specific requirement and desiderata apply for each position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
