For visiting scholars

Professor Todd Pagano (Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, USA): “I’ve had great experiences as a visiting scholar with the EACH program. The students were so engaged in the lectures and practicals, they made the teaching experience very enjoyable and energizing. The associated faculty and staff are top-notch and I’ve enjoyed continued collaborations with them.”

Scholars of the following research areas are very welcome to apply (non-exhaustive list):

  • new and emerging directions and developments in analytical chemistry;
  • analytical chemistry and metrology in chemistry;
  • guideline materials on QA in analytical chemistry;
  • metrological and quality aspects of analytical chemistry;
  • food analysis and nutrition, QA in food analysis;
  • environmental analysis, e.g., with atomic mass spectrometry, isotope methods;
  • occupational analysis;
  • forensic analysis;
  • sensors;
  • automated analysis and process control.

Criteria and conditions

Visiting scholar positions are competition-based. Visiting scholars are first of all expected to be outstanding experts in their respective field. In addition, a good command of English is required since the language of instruction in the EACH programme is English. Good teaching abilities are also needed, as the visiting scholar is expected to teach short (4 days to a couple of weeks) course(s) in his/her field of competence. The courses can contain lectures, seminars, practicals, etc. – the scholars are offered as much freedom as possible in designing their course.

Travel and accommodation costs of the visiting scholar will be covered by the consortium and a modest salary will be paid.

Applicationa

The application submission system is constantly open, with cut-off dates May 31, Aug 31, and Dec 31. Decisions are made after each cut-off date. Important: if you wish to teach in autumn, please submit your application at the latest by Aug 31 of the respective year. If you wish to teach in spring, please submit your application at the latest by Dec 31 of the previous year. When submitting the application, a recurring time for the course can be indicated (e.g., the course will be held in Winter Schools in 2022-2024). The EACH programme’s Academic Board has the right to shorten this time.

The following documents are required for application:

  1. application form filled in online;
  2. CV (uploaded in the application form);
  3. description of the teaching activities that the applicant plans to carry out during the mobility period (uploaded in the application form).

a Please consult the EACEA’s Provisions for the processing of personal data (also found in the footer of each page of the EACH website). EACEA may use the data for the purposes of evaluating the programmes, efficiently managing the projects, and producing statistics.

Applications will be evaluated by the EACH programme’s Academic Board and applicants will be contacted for further information, if necessary. Thereafter the logistical and financial aspects of the stay (incl. the salary) will be negotiated with successful applicants.
