Stellenbosch University, via the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study, invites applications for its fellowships. These enable individuals or teams to take up residencies at the institute in any discipline. The programme encourages the cross-pollination of ideas across cultures, academic environments or otherwise, and gives preference to projects that benefit from a multidisciplinary discourse while also contributing with unique perspectives to such a discourse.

Individuals, or teams with typically three to five participants, may apply. No restriction is placed on the country of origin, discipline, or academic affiliation. Projects should have relevance for South Africa and Africa as a whole.

World Institute for Development Economics Research of the United Nations University, INT

This supports detailed economic analysis and research of topics in domestic revenue mobilisation and inequality. Funding is worth up to USD 20,000.

The University of East Anglia’s Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania & the Americas invites applications for its visiting research fellowships. These support research for publication on the arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas.

Scholars in relevant humanities and social sciences fields, such as anthropology, art history, archaeology, history and related disciplines, may apply. Applicants must hold a doctorate or equivalent degree and be undertaking research for publication on a relevant subject. Advanced doctoral candidates may be considered. Fellows must reside in Norwich for the duration of the fellowship.

Two fellowships, normally for a period of three months coinciding with autumn and spring terms, are available. Funding covers return travel costs worth up to £750 and a weekly stipend of £396. Fellows are provided with an office in the Sainsbury Centre, equipped with a university networked PC and printing facilities, and have access to the Robert Sainsbury library.

In collaboration with UNESCO and a number of centres of excellence in the South, TWAS has instituted a Joint Associateship Scheme to enable competent researchers from the South to visit these centres regularly. An associate is appointed for three years during which he/she can visit a Centre twice for research collaboration. Almost 300 centres have been selected to participate in the Scheme.

TWAS provides travel support for the associates and a contribution towards subsistence costs up to USD300.00 per month while living expenses are covered by the host centres. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent degree. The selection of associates is highly competitive; appointments are made on the basis of merit. Special consideration is given to scientists from isolated institutions in developing countries. Women scientists are especially encouraged to apply.

The Bodleian Libraries Visiting Fellows Programme
The Libraries encourage research that makes use of Bodleian Special Collections, an outstanding resource for scholarly study and discovery, containing rare printed books, classical papyri, medieval and renaissance manuscripts, literary, political and historical papers, archives, printed ephemera, and maps and music in both manuscript and printed form. Fellowships offer scholars the opportunity to undertake an uninterrupted period of research with the Bodleian collections. The awards are intended for scholars who hold a doctorate at the time of application or have attained equivalent experience in employment in higher education or research (e.g., holding a curatorial post in a museum or library).

For more than 50 years, the National Geographic Society has supported exploration into the evolution of humankind. Our grants have led to hundreds of new discoveries in paleoanthropology, paleolithic archaeology, molecular anthropology, and paleoecology that have fundamentally changed the understanding of our own species. As we consider that legacy, we look to those areas of the planet where little is known about human origins, and we seek to invest in new ideas, projects, and explorers in and from these regions. The goal of this fund is to encourage further investigation of hominid evolution in Africa and Asia, with preference given to projects in relatively unexplored parts of those continents. Preference will also be given to applicants who are residents or citizens of the country of fieldwork, as well as to projects with strong local capacity development components.

This encourages more investigation of hominid evolution in Africa and Asia, with preference given to projects in relatively unexplored parts of those continents. Applicants may request up to USD 50,000, although grants are typically funded for less than USD 30,000.

These support British medical students in spending a period of eight weeks working in hospitals in the beneficial area of Africa.

We would like to set up a European research group on History of Education in Africa (19th-21st C.) through the AEGIS network. We believe that the History of Education brings a unique perspective to understand nation-buildings, imperialism, and the structuring of societies; and then the political, economical, social, and cultural dynamics of colonial
and post-colonial Africa. While outstanding researches do exist, we notice that the field of History of Education in Africa is not structured and lacks the stimulation of intensive scientific discussions. That is why we need to foster international collaborations.
The first step to organize this research network will be a workshop held in Paris in March-April 2019. The second step will be a structuring panel at the Edinburgh ECAS conference in 2019.
