Get Involved in the RUTTER Project

There are many ways to contribute to a project, all of them rewarding and enriching experiences. Of course, we all dream of being the Principal Investigator of an ERC project, but if you are still not in the position to candidate for or be granted one, participation in an ongoing project is a good opportunity to pave the way for it.

Would you like to experience the thrill of cutting-edge historical research? Get involved and be part of the team of the ERC Project RUTTER!

The RUTTER team welcomes students and researchers of any level willing to contribute to the project, both through remote collaborations or working at our location, at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon. While the main focus of research is the history of science, the team is multi-disciplinary and related disciplines can be considered for an internship. From working with archival materials and editing documents, to digital humanities and the setting up of databases, we have a bit of everything. If you have some special linguistic skills (Arabic, Farsi, Mandarin), we are even more interested. We offer an informal, international, and very dynamic environment, where senior and junior researchers will support visiting researchers developing their work.

Although the cooperation is on a voluntary basis, some funding opportunities exist like the Erasmus program, COST short-term scientific missions and the “Visit to ERC grantee” Fellowship Programmes 2020. We’ll be glad to help potential applicants to explore these possibilities.
