Deadline- 15 July 2013
African applicants are invited to submit applications for All Africa House (AAH) Fellowships Program offered to five young or mid-career Africa-based academics with a good academic record.
Objectives-
- Contribute to the intellectual and broad social development of young academics on the African Continent
- promote research and capacity building in universities on the Continent
- provide the Fellow with an opportunity to write and publish, and to benefit from the intellectual dynamism of UCT’s Faculties, as well as from the University’s relatively extensive library resources
- provide the Fellow with the opportunity to develop courses and teaching materials and/or writeup research under the eye of a senior academic at UCT
- facilitate the Fellow’s engagement with UCT’s intellectual community about his or her work through presentation of seminars at AAH or in his/her host faculty
- provide the Fellow with opportunities to interact and network with both national and international visiting scholars residing in AAH
- foster interaction between UCT academics and their counterparts from other African countries, with a view to learning more about each other’s educational systems, teaching and research environments
- to address two of the many challenges facing teachers and researchers in African universities: the serious problem of resources and capacity to develop courses and teaching material, and the lack of opportunities for academics to write and publish.
Eligibility & Criteria-
