Fellowships

The ESRC NGPA programme has set aside a sum of money to support some fellowships.

International Visiting Fellowships 

The ESRC Non-Governmental Public Action Programme (NGPA) is calling for applications for senior International Visiting Fellows to be taken up during the period between May 2008 and March 2009.
Applications for fellowships should be submitted by 7th February to Jane Schiemann, Programme Administrator by email (i.j.schiemann@lse.ac.uk) or by post to the NGPA programme.

These are aimed at senior academics with recognised expertise in the area of non-governmental public action. More information is given in the Call for Applications for International Visiting Fellowships (pdf).  They will be handled by the NGPA programme (not the ESRC).

A list of previous international fellows can be found in the international fellowships section.

Practitioner Fellowships

The ESRC Non-governmental Public Action Research Programme is calling for applications for Practitioner Fellowships. The fellowships are aimed at members or representatives of practitioner groups (including developmental NGOs, global coalitions, voluntary sector groups, cooperatives, human rights groups etc) that are not directly funded by specific research projects in the programme. The fellow will be based in one of the NGPA project teams or with the programme director for up to three months.
The fellowships take two forms:
a. Analytic and conceptual reflection
b. Policy/ Practical Application
Applicants are advised to consult closely with the host project in the preparation of their research proposal.
Applications for fellowships should be submitted by 7 February 2008 to the Programme Administrator, Jane Schiemann (i.j.schiemann@lse.ac.uk) or by post to the NGPA programme.
