Applications are invited to the USF International Fellowship scheme for urban scholars from the Global South. The International Fellowship is intended primarily 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. Research centring on issues related to governance, planning and social equity, policy, critical theory, uneven development, and urban sustainability is particularly welcome, but proposals embracing other urban topics and issues are encouraged.
Additionally, it is intended that such outputs should expand theoretical and empirical understanding of the major social, economic, political and other problems associated with the rapid processes of urban growth in the Global South. The programme is therefore designed to give scope to the exchange of ideas between urban scholars working in the Global North and South. To this end, particular importance is attached to the identification and willingness of an established urban scholar working within a northern or southern institution to act as a mentor of the fellow.
WORTH
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).
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).
DEADLINE: April 30 2020
