Department of Modern Languages and Cultures 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 a funding scheme 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 MSCAUniGe 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 supports candidates and their supervisors in preparing project proposals, including prescreening activity 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 We are interested in projects that deal with the history of translation and interpreting of various types of texts and discursive genres in Latin American territories from the 15th century to the present. We view translation and interpreting as cultural and discursive practices that need to be understood in connection with the social, political, and ideological contexts in which they occur. We encourage projects that combine both a large-scale approach—translation flows and networks—and a localized perspective that favors a close rapport with translation textualities and materialities. Research Group The candidate will work in a multilingual and multicultural environment and will collaborate with an interdisciplinary group of experts in languages, history, literature, and translation and interpreting. The Department of Modern Languages offers a variety of training opportunities and research groups that work on a wide range of topics, often in collaboration with other institutions in Italy and abroad. The University of Genoa is one of the largest universities in Northern Italy and hosts a large Library System organized into library poles, available to all university staff and students. For the MSCA-PF 2025 call (opening foreseen on April 9, 2025), at the deadline for submission of proposals (September 10, 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 aforementioned deadline.
