The 6th edition of the Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus is meant for researchers with PhDs that wish to join the work being developed in Portuguese research centers financed by the FCT. The submission period will last from April 4th to May 3rd 2023 (5 pm. – Lisbon time).

As a Research Unit sponsored by the FCT, the Institute for Medieval Studies (IEM) of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities of Universidade Nova de Lisboa (NOVA FCSH) accepts applications of candidates who wish to submit their projects having the IEM as host Institution. 

All those interested should contact the IEM-NOVA FCSH, until April 14th, by email, to iem.geral@fcsh.unl.pt, informing  the Institute of their intention to apply. Such pre-application to the Institute’s board should be sent with a CV and  an initial a draft of the Project they wish to submit, in no more than two pages.

The IEM’s Board of directors will then analyze the applications before accepting to act as host Institution and will notify the candidates of the acceptance or refusal of their proposals. Further to this first acceptance, the applicants will receive feedback on their projects, as well as advice and support for the completion and submission of the research project proposal to the National Funding Board. 

IEM will organize the session “Appeal for the FCT Individual Stimulus” (date to be defined), an internal initiative especially dedicated to the presentation and debate of accepted projects, in comparison with other successful experiences of similar projects presented or advised by IEM researchers. IEM will also organize, for the first time, a second session (date to be defined) of broader debate with the participation of other NOVA FCSH UIs.

As in previous years, NOVA FCSH will provide its candidates with several clarification sessions. All IEM candidates will be able to participate in these actions.
