AERC/Journal of African Economies, Visiting Scholars Programme
2009-2010
Objectives
The AERC/JAE Visiting Scholars Programme provides for short-term visiting fellowships to the Centre for the Study of African Economies at the University of Oxford. The programme will enable network members who have recently completed an AERC supported research project to visit Oxford and distill a publishable journal article from their research reports. Visiting fellows will interact with scholars and participate in the intellectual life of the Centre and the Department of Economics. They are expected to attend all CSAE seminars and to present at least one seminar on their own research while in Oxford.
Each visit would normally last for a period of two months, coinciding with one academic term at Oxford.
Eligibility
Applicants should meet the following requirements:
- Holders of a post-graduate degree (Masters or PhD) in economics
- Be affiliated with an academic institution or research centre located in sub-Saharan Africa.
- Recently completed an AERC supported project and wish to prepare an article(s) for publication.
Application Procedure
Applications should include the following:
- A letter stating what the applicant wishes to do while at Oxford including tentative title(s) of paper(s) they intend to write.
- Copy of the completed project report
- Copy of their updated curriculum vitae
Visiting fellows will be provided with a desk and computer in shared office space, and with access to internet and university libraries. A stipend will be provided to cover the cost of a plane ticket and the cost of living while in Oxford. The stipend is not meant to constitute a salary since recipients are expected to continue receiving a salary from their home university or research centre while in Oxford.
Closing date for applications: 31 July 2009
All applications should be addressed to:
