TWAS-DFG Cooperation Visits Programme

http://www.twas.org/opportunity/twas-dfg-cooperation-visits-programme

The TWAS-DFG Cooperation Visits Programme provides postdoctoral researchers from sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa) with the opportunity to make a ‘Cooperation Visit’ to an institute in Germany of no more than 3 months.

Under this programme, researchers are assisted in making a ‘Cooperation Visit’ to an institute in Germany. Such visits will have a duration of no more than three (3) months and must be undertaken within 12 months of the award.

The aim of the visit is to discuss research collaboration with German scientists, possibly including some preliminary experiments, with the ultimate goal of developing longer-term collaboration, perhaps through other Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, or German Research
Foundation) programmes. TWAS will cover visa, health insurance and travel expenses, while DFG will provide subsistence costs for the stay in Germany. The administration and financial operation of TWAS is undertaken by UNESCO in accordance with an agreement signed by the two organizations.

Deadline: 31 March each year.

Call for papers – Anthropology in Action

The Anthropology in Action journal welcomes research-based papers, commentaries and debate and literature review articles as well as reviews of events, books, films and blogs.

We are keen to increase the diversity of writing included in the journal, so in addition to reports of research that is relevant to engagement of anthropology with public policy and practice, we would like to see more pieces that discuss career options for anthropologists and more writing about experiences of those who are working outside academic anthropology. Research-based articles are peer reviewed, but other submissions will receive editorial review.

Word length for submitted articles should normally be between 5-6,000 words, but shorter pieces are also welcome. Please contact the editor if you wish to submit a longer article. Email submissions are accepted (please send to christine.mccourt.1@city.ac.uk ), but we are currently moving to an online submission system. When submitting an article, please also supply an abstract (100-150 words) together with up to eight key words. You should at the same time submit a brief biographical note. Full instructions on how to submit articles and other contributions, style guides and so on can be found on the publisher website at: ww.journals.berghahnbooks.com/aia/

Programme Point Sud Appel à candidature

Les chercheurs, les institutions scientifiques et les fondations pour la recherche basés en Allemagne oeuvrent avec succès au-delà des frontières établies par les anciennes puissances coloniales majeures. Non seulement ces chercheurs dépassent les barrières nationales et linguistiques, mais ils ont su encourager les échanges entre différentes traditions de pensée. C’est pourquoi l’université allemande peut apporter une contribution importante à l’élaboration d’une science postcoloniale.

Call for Pre-Proposals for Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Social Sciences in Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa

Knowledge for Tomorrow?
Cooperative Research Projects in Sub-Saharan Africa
Call for Pre-Proposals for Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Social Sciences in Sub-Saharan and North Africa

The Foundation’s funding initiative « Knowledge for Tomorrow – Cooperative Research Projects in Sub-Saharan Africa » aims at providing sustainable
support for research and research capacity development in Sub-Saharan Africa. This funding scheme represents a fundamental career development
strategy for African researchers, as it provides promising postdoctoral researchers based in Africa with opportunities to enhance both their skills
and academic qualifications; ultimately, it enables them to establish professional perspectives in academia. This is to be achieved in cooperation
between African and European scholars, as any postdoctoral project funded under this scheme needs to be carried out in collaboration with a European partner institute as well as further partners. Through this African-European cooperation, the initiative aims to support the development and extension of academic networks within, and beyond the African continent.

This Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, jointly funded by the Gulbenkian Foundation and Volkswagen Foundation, aims at providing sustainable
support for research in the Social Sciences in Sub-Saharan as well as North Africa. It offers opportunities for postdoctoral researchers at both
junior and senior level (i.e. 3 to 6 years post-PhD) to develop and conduct their own research projects.
