Changing Employment

Call for 12 Marie Curie Early Stage Researchers (ESR) and Experienced
Researchers (ER) in Changing Employment (48 months), a Marie Curie Initial
Training Network funded by the European Commission (and subject to final
approval by the Commission)
Coordinated by University of Strathclyde-Glasgow.

CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS 10th December 2012.
Interviews January 2013 at host institution. Start date March 2013.

FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network announces 12 Doctoral (Early Stage
Researcher) and 3 Post Doctoral (Experienced Researcher) training positions in
‘ChangingEmployment’ in Europe. Doctoral and Post Doctoral projects will be
located in one of the following themes (Work packages in ChangingEmployment):
Theme 1: Management and Employees
Theme 2: Inclusion and Exclusion
Theme 3: Employee Wellbeing and Work Life Quality

This exciting new international comparative European Initial Training Network
(ITN) of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) and Experienced Researchers (ERs)
preparing for doctoral and post doctoral research is amongst a small number of
multi disciplinary social science programmes to be awarded funding in the
current Marie Curie awards under the European Union’s Seventh Framework
Programme for Research and Development (FP7). The ITN, co-ordinated by the
University of Strathclyde-Glasgow, has successfully obtained 4,060,000 Euros to
support the network bringing together new and recent post graduate researchers
working on an international post graduate research programme supervised by
internationally renowned senior academics. The other Full Partners are: CEU
Budapest; LUB Brussels; University of Evry-Paris; University of Gothenburg; K U
Leuven; London Metropolitan University; University of Oviedo; University of
Wroclaw; ETUI-Brussels; Consultingeuropa-Brussels. The programme will feature
attendance at both twice yearly seminars at participating European partner
universities and institutions, participation at regular theme seminars, and an
annual network colloquium. The ESRs and ERs will participate in one of the
three above-referenced themes, working with other Fellows across the 48 months
of the programme. This is a distinctive opportunity to participate in, and
develop within, a highly imaginative international social science training
network, developing research practice and state of the art engagement with
global practitioners in private and public sector institutions and trade
unions.

Full Partners are based in the United Kingdom (University of
Strathclyde-Glasgow; London Metropolitan University), Belgium (ETUI;
ULB-Brussels University; K.U.Leuven, Consultingeuropa), France (University D’
Evry-Paris), Hungary (CEU-Budapest), Poland (University of Wroclaw), Spain
(University of Oviedo), Sweden (University of Gothenburg). Associate Partners
of the ITN include EDF (France), Edrington (UK), ILO (Geneva), Neuroedukacja
(Poland), Volvo (Sweden), UNISON (UK).

Please note that applicants should indicate their preferred ESR/ER project, but
may apply to more than one project. They may also be considered for any of the
other projects within the ITN. To obtain further project information,
prospective candidates should contact the relevant ESR/ER supervisor by email.
Supervisor email addresses are posted below with each ESR/ER project. In
addition to the requirements of the European Commission and ChangingEmployment
Network listed below, each of the university partners has distinctive
requirements which must be fulfilled. On contacting ESR/ER supervisors, each
applicant will receive information regarding university application procedures.
Applicants will also be sent a copy of the ‘ChangingEmployment’ programme. The
completed application should be sent to the relevant ESR/ER project supervisor
and to Professor Paul Stewart, ChangingEmployment Programme Co-ordinator:

Changing Employment

Europe is today facing several major social and economic challenges. These go
beyond the future of the euro and the instability of the financial system to
some of the underlying issues concerned with the work and employment that
underpin the European economy. How can Europe retain manufacturing and
production as restructuring and relocation towards lower-wage costs economies
gathers pace? As demographic change lifts the proportions of older workers in
society and in employment, how can Europe both maintain decent levels of
pensions and provide decent jobs for younger workers? As cross-border migration
becomes ever easier how can migrant workers be fully integrated and accepted
into the European labour market? How can aspirations for decent jobs be squared
with the nearly pan-European progression of precario s work? E rope’s f t re
depends in large part on the answers it can provide to these questions within
the context of the vision of an innovative economy bolstered by a high road
social model that was captured in the Europe 2020 strategy. The aim of the
ChangingEmployment ITN doctoral and post doctoral programme is to train a
cross-European and interdisciplinary network of policy-focused social
scientists comprehensively skilled in understanding, analyzing, and responding
to social and institutional employment changes.
Overall, it will:
1. Explore societal differences and national variations in employees’
experiences of working life.
2. Examine historic and changing relations between management and employees.
3. Develop a comparative understanding of the changing quality of work,
organisation and employment in the context of the (above) changes.
4. Consider patterns and consequences of workplace inclusion-exclusion in
relation to migration,
employment and unemployment, shifting inequalities in terms of gender and
ethnicity and the implications for older employees of new patterns of work and
retirement.
5. Assess impact of the current economic retrenchment on these forms of
employment in Europe.

Job description
In accordance with the goals of the ITN, successful ESR applicants will be
admitted to the doctoral programme of the selected University. During the
period of their appointment, successful applicants will pursue research in one
of the three thematic work packages. ESRs will be hosted by one of the Full
Partner Universities and in some instances will spend part of their time with
another university partner (see Fellows Individual Research Projects). The
supervision of a number of ESRs will be jointly undertaken by two of the
university partners. All ESRs will undertake secondments with the ITN’s
commercial or trade union partners following a core feature of their research
agenda. These secondments are scheduled in accordance with a Personal Career
Development Plan to be developed by the successful
applicant in close coordination with his/her supervisor and the Programme
Coordinator at the outset of his/her appointment. For an overview of the
Fellows Individual Research Projects please see the end of the document.

Successful ERs will have a range of responsibilities and expectations which will
vary according to post (see below and respective contact supervisor for further

which will be developed in the course of the appointment and under the
supervision of the mentor. Tenure varies according to Post Doctoral project
agenda.

Living and Mobility Allowances
Living and Mobility Allowances vary according to the country where the
appointing institution is located, reflecting differences in living expenses.
They are calculated by means of the application of country-specific correction

Early-stage researchers 38,000 Euros, with country coefficient adjustment
Experienced researchers (< 10 years experience) 58,500 Euros, with country
coefficient adjustment
Experienced researchers (>10 years experience) 87,500 Euros, with country
coefficient adjustment
Monthly Living Allowance:
700 Euros for researchers without a family and 1000 Euros for researchers with a
family.
Researchers also have access to training monies for eligible activities in the
project, to be determined and agreed in advance under the direction of the
relevant supervisor, management supervisory board and coordinator.

been domiciled for more than 12 months in the previous three years prior to
appointment. In addition, to qualify for the post, at the time of appointment,
ESR applicants must:
Have less than the equivalent of 4-years full-time research experience since
gaining the University degree which would entitle them to embark on doctoral
studies in the country in which the degree was received
