Fellowship applications in the field of economics and the environment.
In particular FEEM is seeking 2-3 Marie Curie Fellow candidates to pursue research in the

management or research experience of more than 4 years in relevant areas of
environmental or ecological economics,
- strong analytical and diagnostic skills, and ability to conduct research independently,
- publication record proportional to their research experience,

Marie Curie opportunities vary according to the country of residence:

- researchers from third countries may opt for an International Incoming Fellowship (IIF).
Female researchers and candidates from International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC)
are particularly encouraged to apply.
Promising candidates will be actively helped and assisted in developing project proposals for
the Marie Curie Individual Fellowships within the EC FP7 People Program.
Selected candidates will be offered paid short visiting positions at the FEEM office in
Venice for June-July 2010. During this period, the candidates will prepare/submit the Marie
Curie Proposals under the supervision of the FEEM senior researchers.
The successful Marie Curie fellows will be associated within the cluster of EC research projects
dealing with climate adaptation, natural hazard management and vulnerability assessment.
FEEM will offer a truly international and multi-disciplinary workplace. The strong ties with a
world-wide network of research institutions engaged in environmental research will allow a
continuous fruitful exchange of experience.
