Global Platform for Action Climate and Sustainability Academy Fellowship is a joint initiative between Chatham House and the Global Platform for Action on Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings (GPA) hosted at The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the University of Oxford Refugee-Led Research Hub (RLRH).
The fellowship offers candidates the opportunity to spend ten months at Chatham House working on a personal project. Fellows are strongly encouraged to consider how they can develop the existing research of the Environment and Society Programme and GPA Transforming Humanitarian Energy Access (THEA) programme on the topic of humanitarian energy.
The programme provides inclusionary analysis and evidence to support the energy needs of all displaced people. They focus on quantitative data analysis to support the aims of delivering inclusive humanitarian energy action in refugee settings.
WORTH
- The fellow will receive a monthly stipend of £2,365 which will cover London living costs, including accommodation, utilities, food, transport and other basic expenses.
- The Academy will cover costs related to relocation, visas and payment of the UK’s Immigration Healthcare Surcharge which allows access to the UK National Health Service (Note: candidates may be required to pay for dental and optical treatments and medicines prescribed by a doctor), fieldwork and travel, research activities, and possible publication.
ELIGIBILITY
- The fellowship is open to individuals who have lived experience of forced displacement, such as identifying as a current or ‘former’ refugee, asylum seeker, internally displaced person, stateless person, or another category.
- Applicants must hold a completed BA degree or equivalent and have experience with conducting research.
- The ideal candidate should be at the early to mid-stage of their career and come from one of the following fields or work: academia, NGO, business, government departments, civil society, or the media. All applicants should possess knowledge of, and an interest in, international affairs, their chosen area of research, and Chatham House’s mission and research.
- We do not impose age restrictions for applicants.
- Fellows are expected to work full-time towards their fellowship, and therefore it is not possible to undertake a fellowship at the same time as pursuing work or studies.
