NSfK Fellowship for 2012

NSfK Fellowship announcement

In 2012, the Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology celebrates its 50th anniversary. On this occasion, the Council hereby announces a fellowship of up to 50 000 EUR. The fellowship is intended for those who have completed their PhD in criminology or related fields during the last two years - or have submitted their dissertation at the latest on 1 March 2012. The project must be of Nordic criminological relevance.

On Nordic relevance:

A project is considered to have Nordic relevance when it involves researchers from more than one of the countries. Furthermore, when a project treats a problem or topic common to two or more Nordic countries, and data from two or more of them is used, it is considered to have Nordic relevance. A project involving only one Nordic country can also be considered to have Nordic relevance if the topic is unexplored in a majority of the Nordic countries or if knowledge about the topic is limited in one country while it is extensive in the other countries.

Applications will be evaluated by the Council at its annual meeting in March 2012.

The NSfK fellow recipient is expected to present her/his research findings at one of the Council's events. The Council and the applicant will decide which event is the most suitable.

It is possible to apply for both the fellowship and a research grant, if qualifications are met.

The application and accompanying documents must be sent by e-mail to astast@hi.is no later than 12 December 2011. Additionally, a signed application needs to be sent to the secretariat of the Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology, stamped no later than 12 December 2011.

A receipt for submission of the applicant's PhD thesis must be sent to the secretariat on 12 December 2011 the latest. If the PhD thesis is submitted after 12 December, the receipt can be sent at the latest on 1 March 2012.

The form is to be completed in accordance with the "Guidelines for Financial Support from the Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology (NSfK)".

NSfK post‏doc forskningsstipendium

Nordisk Samarbejdsråd for Kriminologi fejrer i 2012 sit 50 års jubilæum. I den anledning annonceres et stipendium på op til 50 000 euro til en nordisk forsker, der inden for de sidste to år har afsluttet sin ph.d.-afhandling i kriminologi eller et relateret område, eller som indleverer en afhandling til bedømmelse inden den 1. marts 2012. Det ansøgte projekt skal have nordisk relevans.

Om nordisk relevans:

Et projekt har nordisk relevans, hvis det er et samarbejdsprojekt mellem to eller flere nordiske lande. Et projekt, der udgår fra en problemstilling, der vedrører flere nordiske lande og som desuden bruger data fra flere nordiske lande, har også nordisk relevans. Et projekt, som alene tager udgangspunkt i ét nordisk land, kan have nordisk relevans, hvis det drejer sig om et emne, der er uudforsket i de fleste nordiske lande, eller dersom der findes megen nordisk forskning om projektets tema, mens der savnes videnskabelige rapporter om temaet fra ét nordisk land.

Rådsmødet i 2012 tager stilling til, hvem der tildeles stipendiet.

Det forventes, at stipendiaten præsenterer sin forskning på et af NSfKs arrangementer efter nærmere aftale.

Det er muligt at søge både forskningsstøtte og post‏doc forskningsstipendium, hvis betingelserne er opfyldte. 

Ansøgningsskema med bilag skal sendes i ét eksemplar som e-mail til astast@hi.is senest 12. december 2011. Desuden skal en underskrevet ansøgning sendes til Nordisk Samarbejdsråd for Kriminologis sekretariat i Island, poststemplet senest 12. december 2011. Kvittering for indlevering af ph.d.-afhandlingen, skal sendes til sekretariatet for NSfK senest den 12. december 2011. Hvis indsendelse forventes 12. december-1. marts, kan kvitteringen sendes senere, dog senest 1. marts 2012. 

Ansøgningsskemaet skal udfyldes i overensstemmelse med "Retningslinjer for finansiel støtte fra Nordisk Samarbejdsråd for Kriminologi (NSfK)".
