Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a reader in history at Glasgow Caledonian University, and am currently putting together an application for EU funding for a group project whose focus would be the history of immigration, provisionally titled ‘Strangers to Citizens’. The project would be based around an MSCA incoming fellowship, whereby a scholar from outside the UK (preferably from another EU country) would come to Glasgow to base himself or herself at our institution and run the project.
Professor Tariq Modood of the University of Bristol has recommended that I contact you to ask if you would circulate a call for candidates via your mailing list. I would be very grateful if you would do this for me. Please find the call attached, together with a short text for the introductory email.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or would like any further information.
Yours sincerely,
Ben Shepherd
