Description: Call for Expression of Interest for a joint application under the upcoming Call for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025.

The University of Genoa (UNIGE), located in Genoa, Italy, welcomes postdoctoral researchers of any nationality with an excellent track record to apply for the European Commission Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025.

Our University has been a beneficiary of several MSCA-PF in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.

The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship is part of the European Commission's Horizon Europe Research & Innovation programme, dedicated to excellent research promoting international mobility, as well as interdisciplinary and intersectoral exchanges.

The MSCA fellowship grant provides a competitive salary plus mobility and family allowances if applicable, as well as a contribution to cover research, training, and networking costs.

The research projects will have a duration of 2 or 3 years.

Selected candidates will receive special support for proposal writing and development.

The University of Genoa will organize the fifth edition of the Masterclass in May.

Selected candidate researchers will have the opportunity to attend a 2-day online intensive training and coaching course on how to write a successful proposal.

This masterclass is designed to support candidates and their supervisors in preparing project proposals, including prescreening activities of draft proposals and the organization of dedicated B2B meetings by the European Research Office of UniGe, National Contact Point, and other experts.

The masterclass will take place in May/June 2025.

MSCA domain: Social Sciences and Humanities (SOC); Research Project Description: I am willing to supervise research projects that address various aspects and dimensions of advertising, branding, popular media, promotion, creative and visual arts, focusing on contemporary China, especially from 1949 onwards.

I welcome expressions of interest in topics related to childhood, nostalgia, memory of modern and revolutionary years, as well as wider issues connected to country image and relationships with other countries and the African continent.

Marketing and corporate culture, particularly concerning CSR, brand identity, and societal issues such as the environment and gender gap, are also encouraged.

Any topic related to 'Made in China' is strongly welcomed.

Research Group: The Department offers a BA in Chinese, and in September 2025, we will introduce a new MA in Chinese Studies.

The candidate will work closely with the supervisor and other colleagues in the Chinese Area.

The library has a range of China-related and Chinese language sources, alongside the civic library Berio, located in the city centre.

Students enrolled in the Chinese programme have been active in organizing various cultural and engagement activities with the local student body and population, promoting knowledge of China broadly.

The supervisor has several national connections, with a specific group working on Chinese media, and international links mainly in Europe, the UK, and China.

For the MSCA-PF 25 call (opening foreseen on 9th April 2025), by the deadline for proposal submission (10th September 2025), postdoctoral candidates shall have a maximum of 8 years of postdoctoral research experience and must not have resided or carried out their main activities in Italy (for European Fellowship) or in the Third Country of the outgoing phase (for Global Fellowship) for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the deadline.
