Aston Centre for Interdisciplinary Research into Language and Diversity (InterLanD)

InterLand

InterLanD is an innovative research centre that builds on the extensive expertise of Aston researchers by bringing together linguistic, social, cultural, economic, environmental, political, management and marketing perspectives:

  • How can we learn to live with differences?
  • What shapes identities in diverse societies?
  • How does social diversity impact on service-delivery and policy development?
  • What can international comparisons teach us about living with diversity?
  • How can we harness diversity in work and market places?

We welcome enquiries from PhD-qualified researchers from all countries outside the UK wishing to apply for a Marie Curie Fellowship to come to work with us at Aston; the next call opens on 14th March with a deadline of 14th August 2013. There are two Fellowship Schemes available:

  • One for early- to mid-career researchers of any nationality currently working in Europe (Intra-European fellowship, IEF); 
  • One for researchers at mid-career plus working in any country outside of Europe (International Incoming Fellowship, IIF).

Subject areas included are: English Language and  Linguistics, Sociology and Business Studies. Please contact Dr Urszula Clark u.clark@aston.ac.uk for further details.
