INQUA FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY

Application Deadline: September 15, 2024

LOCATION: Hungary

The INQUA Fellowship Program financially supports early-career scientists (ECRs), as well as scientists from low- and middle-income countries/developing countries (DCRs), to gain international quaternary research experience at a foreign institution for a duration of 3–6 months. Applications are invited from candidates in all continents/regions for the 2024 INQUA Fellowship Program

ELIGIBILITY:

The applicants must fulfill the following conditions:

Early-career scientists (ECRs) – graduate students and postgraduates within 8 years of receiving their final degree. This period of 8 years does not take into account periods of time taken not working as an academic or because of taking time off because of family responsibilities. Scientists who have been working for less than 8 years and who have permanent (tenured) positions, may still be considered as early-career researchers.

Developing-Country Researchers (DCRs) – researchers who are working in low income or lower middle income economies (see here for list of these economies). In applying this guideline, INQUA will take into account that inclusion or exclusion from the World Bank list may not be an adequate reflection of the levels of science funding or funding to individual scientists.

Individuals must be willing to conduct research at host research institutions in foreign countries. 

Research Topics should be related to INQUA’s defined scope (https://inqua.org/about)

Applicants can benefit from the INQUA Fellowship Program only once.

BENEFIT:

The fellowship covers (part of) the costs associated with travel (economy class) and expenses (subsistence, accommodation, etc.) of the fellow while living abroad up to a maximum of € 15000.

interests,Audio/Video Application Materials: Applicants should plan to write about their musical background and interests as well as future projects and goals. Applicants will be asked to submit 3-5 samples of their solo and collaborative work (both audio and video are accepted).

Musicians from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply, with or without formal musical training. We welcome music of all genres, including but not limited to: traditional/folk, hip hop, experimental, electronic, jazz, classical, sound design, beat-making, multimedia art, or any combination of these styles. In addition to full-time professional musicians, we also invite adventurous musicians who double as community organizers, instrument builders, writers, videographers, musicologists, educators, storytellers, dancers, shadow-puppeteers, and more.

BENEFIT:

Collaboration is central. OneBeat offers musicians the opportunity to collaborate on new projects and to explore new musical traditions. Rather than showcasing solo talent, OneBeat musicians will work together across stylistic and cultural divides in pursuit of new musical possibilities.

OneBeat is socially engaged. We are looking for musicians who have a strong commitment to their communities and who are seeking new ways to engage in youth development, music education, music therapy, conflict resolution, a global dialogue through music, and other ways of working towards more egalitarian and democratic societies.

OneBeat is a FREE program (but not a paid gig). The OneBeat program covers all Fellows’ travel, transportation, food, and lodging. We also offer a modest stipend. While we are not able to pay performance fees, OneBeat offers Fellows a chance to create new material, establish lifelong musical partnerships and friendships, learn new marketable skills, tour the US, and develop professional connections.
