The UNU-WIDER Visiting Scholars Programme gives qualified scholars an opportunity to research topics related to development and/or global economic issues, and to participate in UNU-WIDER activities.
Scholars typically spend a 2-3 months ‘sabbatical’ at UNU-WIDER. During this time they prepare one or more papers to be considered for publication in the WIDER working paper series, and present a seminar in their field of research.
WORTH
- UNU-WIDER provides medical insurance (for medical and hospital services resulting from sickness and accident during your stay at UNU-WIDER), and a monthly stipend of EUR 2,650 as a contribution towards travel, visa, accommodation and other out-of-pocket expenses.
- Visiting scholars may apply for a supplementary grant to cover high travel costs (incl. visa) if they exceed EUR 1,200 (lowest economy class fare).
- The programme does not cover expenses related to dependents.
ELIGIBILITY
- Applicants should have a PhD degree in economics or a development-related discipline.
- A good publication record is an added advantage.
- Applications from suitably qualified early-career, female, and developing country researchers are particularly encouraged.
- They prefer applicants whose research overlaps with our current research programme, but they remain open to proposals on all aspects of development.
