Applications due by: 30th June 2020

Applications are invited to the USF International Fellowship<https://urbanstudiesfoundation.org/funding/international-fellowships/> scheme for urban scholars from the Global South. The Fellowship covers the costs of a sabbatical period at a university of the candidate’s choice in the Global North or South for the purpose of writing-up the candidate’s existing research findings in the form of publishable articles and/or a book under the guidance of a chosen mentor in their field of study. Funding is available for a period ranging between 3-9 months.

Eligibility

Applicants must be early-to-mid career urban scholars with a PhD obtained within the preceding 10 years (by the submission deadline) who currently work in a university or other research institution within the Global South. Candidates must also be nationals of a country in the Global South, defined as any country on the present OECD list of ODA recipients (2018-2020)<https://urbanstudiesfoundation.org/content/assets/uploads/2019/02/DAC_List_ODA_Recipients2018to2020_flows_En.pdf>.

Terms

The financial support attached to the fellowship will meet accommodation and subsistence needs while staying at the host university, return (economy class) air fare, and assistance towards research costs (including any enrolment fees and other resource costs). There is also a small budget available for the mentor to assist the Fellow to meet their intended research aims should this be appropriate. Short-listed candidates may also apply for a small amount of limited extra-ordinary care costs, for example to support any additional care for dependent person(s) incurred during the sabbatical.
