STIAS Iso Lomso Fellowships for Early Career African Researchers 2023

STIAS Iso Lomso Fellowships for Early Career African Researchers 2023

Iso Lomso fellowship aims to address the gap that exists between completion of the Ph.D. and becoming an established scholar in Africa. The fellowship takes the form of a residency. Fellows are expected to be present at STIAS for the duration of their STIAS residency, with no academic obligations other than pursuing the proposed research project, to share in the discussion over lunch and participating in the Thursday STIAS fellows’ seminar where fellows in turn present their work to other fellows and invited academics from the local community. Fellows receive an economy return flight, accommodation, a monthly stipend amongst other benefits.
