FELLOWSHIPS FOR AFRICA’S FUTURE RESEARCHERS, THE FUTURE AGRICULTURES CONSORTIUM
Three types of awards are available:
1. Africa-based one-year fulltime post-Masters or post-doc appointment. Four positions are available for African researchers x £10,000 each.
2. Africa-based part-time post-Masters or post-doc appointment over one year. Three positions are available for African reseachers x £5,000 each.
3. UK-based six-month fulltime post-doc appointment. Two positions available x £12,500 each.
General Eligibility
Criteria Candidates should have no more than three years active post-Masters or post-doctoral experience at the time that their FAC Fellowship starts. Those who submitted their Masters dissertation or doctoral thesis more than three years before the date they wish to start their fellowship will not be eligible, except where the applicant has interrupted their career for family, health or other personal reasons.
Applications are invited from young researchers who have recently completed their degree in an appropriate development-related field, including agricultural or applied economics, anthropology, development studies, environmental science and policy (including climate change), gender studies, geography, political science, public administration, rural sociology, science and technology studies, etc.
The focus is on junior candidates early in their careers with a strong interest in conducting research on agricultural policy issues in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Please note that awards 1 and 2 are open to African researchers only. Award 3 is open to applicants seeking to do post-doc work on African agricultural policy from a UK base.
Eligible women candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
