PhDs and postdocs, this is for you. Marie Curie fellowships are hard to get. Several parameters go into drafting a successful proposal. Some of the factors, like 1. Having an impactful idea 2. A proposal that is novel, new, and state-of-the-art 3. A clear and concise research methodology 4. Having a good host and hosting institute 5. Realistic milestones and deliverables 6. Having collaborations and secondments that could help your career and several more are critically evaluated by a review panel before coming to a decision. In fact, even personalised career development plans are key sections of a proposal. Having successfully secured a Marie Curie postdoc fellowship, I have been through the process. Wait! Let me rephrase that. After failing twice and successfully securing the fellowship on my THIRD attempt, I know the grind. I know the long hours my flatmate Arup K Kunti and I spent writing our proposals back in the day. When we were in the peak stages of writing our proposal, we used to spend months just holed up in our respective rooms. We would step out for about ten minutes to take a little break every two to three hours. We would look at each other and laugh at how much we’d aged in those few hours! We’d have a cup of coffee and then get back to writing. I think the day we submitted our proposals, we must have downed two bottles of amazing South African wine from the Western Cape and not felt a thing! After what we'd been through, the wine had little effect! That was our first attempt at writing a Marie Curie proposal. Neither of us got the fellowship. But we survived. We got wiser. We now had experience! A few months ago, I participated in a podcast with Nirmal Madhavan, PhD aimed at helping Marie Curie aspirants understand the process better. We covered several factors that reviewers consider while evaluating a proposal. We covered all the aspects I listed earlier and even spoke about potential ways one could approach writing a proposal. We discussed strategies for making an idea impactful and discussed the importance of being prepared to reduce last-minute stress. This is why we do what we do on LinkedIn. We try to make your journey a little easier to navigate by preparing you ahead of time. You need to know what you’re getting into and be ready for what’s coming. We are here to help! Here’s the link to the podcast. #PhD #postdoc #fellowhip #career #mentorship #phdlife #phdstudent #research #researcher #academia #science #gradschool

Waste-Energy-Resources-Environment Nexus | Killam Postdoctoral Fellow at Dalhousie University | 2024 @KillamTrusts laureate
Killam Postdoctoral Fellowships Izaak Walton #Killam was a pioneering Canadian businessman and philanthropist, and for a time Canada's richest man. He died on August 5, 1955. The Killam Trusts were established in 1965 after the death of Dorothy J. Killam, the widow of Izaak Walton Killam. The Killam Postdoctoral Fellowships Program is part of the larger framework of the Killam Trusts, which promotes education and research in Canada. In brief, the Killam Fellowships were created in memory of Izaak Walton Killam through the will of his wife, Dorothy Johnston Killam, and through donations made during her lifetime. Their primary purpose was to support higher education and research at five Canadian universities and the Canada Council for the Arts. The Killam Postdoctoral Fellowship represents a distinguished award to support outstanding researchers at Canadian universities. It aims to encourage research excellence by providing funds for postdoctoral researchers to pursue innovative projects. The award generally covers a stipend and research-related expenses. Recipients must generally have completed their PhD within a specified timeframe, and demonstrate outstanding potential in their field. Research excellence and leadership in the research domain, and the quality of the proposed research project, are the main points of the evaluation criteria for this fellowship. Some Canadian universities including Dalhousie University, University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, University of Calgary, ... participate in the fellowship program to support outstanding postdoctoral researchers in various disciplines. Each institution has its own application process and eligibility criteria. Consult their respective websites for detailed information. The Killam Trusts, the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA), and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) signed a memorandum of understanding for the transfer of the administration of the Killam Program to the NRC starting in spring 2022. The KILLAM Postdoctoral Fellowship 2025-2026 is now open, so check the concerned Universities websites for more information. https://lnkd.in/gE-QMj5C https://lnkd.in/gNmH3sJY https://lnkd.in/gWu-Sspu #KillamLaureate #killamfellow #Dalhousie #energyfromwaste #environmentprotection #SDGs #education #research #science #technology #academia #university #students #learningandgrowing #learning #Africa #Togo

Last week, Salil Sainis, former MSCA fellow and Researcher at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Isabel Dellacasa Lindberg, Swedish National Contact Point (NCP) Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (#MSCA), and Erik Litborn, National Contact Point (NCP) Horizon Europe (HEU) joined us for a conversation about MSCA and #ERC opportunities in Sweden and how to best prepare your application. During our conversation, our guests shared the following resources and advise: • Check out the EURAXESS Sweden portal for open MSCA positions at Swedish universities (https://lnkd.in/e-x6r9tu). • Once you’ve identified an interesting opportunity, contact the Grants Office / Research Services at the university to ensure you have all the information needed to develop your application. • Networking is key to success when looking for research opportunities - start early and network broadly. • MSCA grantees also have access to additional networking and learning opportunities during the fellowship period to build their professional profile. • Use your network when you’re looking for a job - the circle of researchers in Sweden, or within a particular field, is usually quite small and people are likely to be aware of opportunities within their own area of research. • The European Research Council (ERC)’s grant scheme is also a great resource for Principal Investigators and offers grants at various career levels (https://lnkd.in/deBxzyr4). • ERC projects also often hire additional researchers during the funding period, so keep an eye out for what projects have received funding and opportunities to work with those projects. • To learn more about the Swedish research funding landscape, check out EURAXESS Sweden’s overview on their website (https://lnkd.in/e9QPMwVT). If you would like to learn more about MSCA opportunities in Sweden, STARS’ webinar from last year is available at https://lnkd.in/ef5XPq_e.

The stoy of "Marie Curie" first woman to win a Noble prize. Marie Curie's life story is like a bright light shining from a small lamp. Born in 1867 in Poland, she grew up in a family that didn't have much money. But Marie was like a little seed eager to grow into something big. When she was older, Marie moved to Paris, France, to study at the Sorbonne, a special school that welcomed girls like her. Even though she faced many challenges, like not having enough money, she didn't give up. She studied really hard and became really good at science and math. Marie's big moment came when she started learning about something called "radioactivity." She didn't have fancy equipment; she worked in a simple lab with just the basics. But that didn't stop her. She discovered amazing things that changed how we understand the world. In 1903, Marie did something incredible. She won a big prize called the Nobel Prize, becoming the first woman ever to win it. And guess what? She won another one later, too! But Marie wasn't just about winning prizes. She showed everyone, especially girls, that they could do anything they set their minds to. Her story is like a bright star in the sky, reminding us that even from the smallest beginnings, greatness can shine through. #educationforchange #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #sdg4 #accesstoeducationforall #girlchildeducation"
