Message for Edinburgh students planning to take beginner's Latin or Greek this year. (Not just first years -- you can do this in any year of your degree). @Edclassicssoc
The Department's deadline for expressions of interest by applicants for MSCA (Marie Curie) postdoctoral fellowships is 1 June. Selected applications are given considerable support and we were remarkably successful in the last round. Details here hca.ed.ac.uk/research/fundin…

Delighted to share I’ve been awarded both a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship.
