The Climate Change and African Political Stability (CCAPS) program invites worldwide applicants to apply for 2013-14 Pre-Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships at Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law in University of Texas at Austin in USA.
The CCAPS fellowship program aims to support the development of the next generation of researchers and thought leaders on the topic of climate change and political stability in Africa. Fellows are encouraged to present their research within and outside the Strauss Center, collaborate on papers or projects with other fellows and faculty, participate in the research activities of CCAPS, attend and take an active role in CCAPS and Strauss Center seminars and conferences, and immerse themselves in the greater University community during their appointment.
CCAPS will consider applicants working on a broad range of topics related to climate change, political stability, and security in Africa. Suitable topics may include, but are not limited to-
- Climate change vulnerability in Africa
- Potential impacts of climate change on political stability or security in Africa
- Strategies for addressing climate change challenges in Africa
