Global South Scholar-In-Residence Programme

Global South Scholar-In-Residence Programme

Spring Residence deadline: October 1, 2011

The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, a leading institution of research and higher education dedicated to the study of world affairs, is now accepting applications for the Global South Scholar-In-Residence Programme.

This fellowship is open to outstanding young professors from universities in developing and emerging countries pursuing advanced research in areas bridging the fields of international and development studies, broadly defined, and working in disciplines such as anthropology, history, law, politics and political science, and economics.

Scholars will spend one semester at the Institute to:
  • Update and strengthen the curriculum of their course;
  • Further a personal research project;
  • Participate in teaching courses;
  • Interact with the international community of the Institute and Geneva area.
Scholars receive a contribution towards living expenses. The Scholarship also covers round trip travel to and accommodation in Geneva.

The selection will be based on the quality of research. Quality being equal, selection may be guided by an interest in promoting gender and regional diversity. Candidates should demonstrate how their research stay will contribute to their academic career and their home institution.
