Urban Studies Foundation International Fellowship

Applications are invited to the USF’s International Fellowships for urban scholars from the Global South. Each award will cover the cost of a visiting sabbatical period at a host university of the candidate’s choice, for the purpose of writing up the candidate’s existing research findings in the form of publishable articles, book chapters, and/or books. Eligible research may cover any urban studies theme pertinent to a better understanding of urban realities within and across the Global South

Applicants must be early-to-mid-career urban scholars holding a PhD awarded within the preceding ten calendar years (by the submission deadline). They must be nationals of any country present on the current OECD DAC list of ODA recipients, and be formally affiliated to/working within a research organisation based in any of these countries.

Candidates must have already completed primary data collection and analysis, and be ready to write up their findings as academic publications (this award is not intended to support proposals involving new primary data collection or analysis). The work must represent a clear and valuable contribution to the field of urban studies, and proposals outside of this field will not be considered.
