The Foundation for Urban and Regional Studies (FURS) is pleased to accept applications for Ray Pahl Fellowship in Urban Studies. The mission of this program is to extend the applicant’s doctoral research into a publishable research monograph or papers, or to begin new research in urban and regional studies. The stipend for 2014 is ZAR 325,000 inclusive of a settling-in allowance. This sum excludes one economy-class return airfare between Cape Town and the Fellow’s home, which will be reimbursed by FURS.
Eligibility & Criteria-
- The Fellowship is open to any scholar of recent postdoctoral standing who is a citizen of an African country (excluding the Republic of South Africa) and who would find the ACC a congenial work environment for intellectual reflection, scholarly engagement and debate, and writing. Preference will be given to scholars whose work relates to cities of the global south, and to Africa in particular.
- have an excellent educational record, showing outstanding performance in undergraduate and postgraduate taught courses and research degrees.
- have been awarded a PhD at the time of application but not more than 5 years ago.
