African Guest Researchers’ Scholarship Programme 2013 at the Nordic Africa Institute in Uppsala, Sweden

Deadline: Applications must be in by 1 April 2012

The African Guest Researchers’ Scholarship Programme is directed at scholars in Africa engaged in research on the African continent. Female researchers are especially encouraged to apply for this scholarship.

The aim of the scholarship is to provide opportunities for scholars to pursue their own research projects and to facilitate use of the Institute’s library collections on contemporary Africa. Another aim is to promote cooperation between Nordic and African researchers.

The Guest Researchers are invited to stay at the Institute for two or three months. The scholarship includes a return air fare (economy class), accommodation, subsistence allowance, and a shared office equipped with computers/MS Word.

Applications are invited from scholars preferably with research projects related to current thematic research clusters at the Institute:

1. Rural and agrarian Change, Property and Resources

2. Conflict, Security and Democratic Transformation

3. Globalization, Trade and Regional Integration

4. Urban Dynamics
