Call for Marie Curie candidates (MCIF) at the IAL of Eurac Research

[Lionel Nicolas]

****** Apologies for cross -posting ******

Dear all,

the Institute for Applied Linguistics (IAL) of Eurac Research of Bolzano
in the north of Italy is interested in hosting Marie Skłodowska-Curie
Individual Fellows (IF) and invites potential applicants to a dedicated
4-days Training taking place online from the 15th until the 19th of May
2023. Over the course of the training, selected applicants develop their
fellowship proposal together with senior researchers from Eurac
Research, learn from current MSCA Fellows in Eurac Research, and are
trained by MSCA experts and an MSCA evaluator on the dos-and-don'ts of
the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship proposal. After the MSC Week, the
trainers accompany the researchers through the writing and fine-tuning
of their fellowship proposals until the submission deadline.


For this year, we are especially interested in the following two subjects.
(1) Speech-To-Text (STT) technologies.
(2) The combination of Crowdsourcing and Language Learning.

With regards to (1), Speech-To-Text technologies, we have identified
significant demand in our local network of contacts, especially with
respect to the processing of the local variant of German (South
Tyrolean), and are interested in developing new STT models better
adapted to the specific linguistic reality of South Tyrol. Regarding
(2), we’re working on the combination of Crowdsourcing and Language
Learning as a means of producing language-related datasets and language
learning material.

Project ideas addressing the aforementioned subjects are very welcome,
as well as any other subjects relevant to the IAL.
More information about the Institute, its members and its projects is
available at:

To participate in the training, please apply with a project proposal of
up to 1000 words and a CV.
The deadline for applications is 27.03.2023.
