   The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in
   Geneva, a leading institution of research and higher education
   dedicated to the study of world affairs, is now accepting
   applications for the Global South Scholar-In-Residence Programme.

   This fellowship is open to outstanding young professors from

   research in areas bridging the fields of international and
   development studies, broadly defined, and working in disciplines
   such as anthropology, history, law, politics and political science,
   and economics.

   Scholars will spend one semester at the Institute to:

       * Update and strengthen the curriculum of their course;
       * Further a personal research project;
       * Participate in teaching courses;
       * Interact with the international community of the Institute and
         Geneva area.

   Scholars receive a contribution towards living expenses. The
   Scholarship also covers round trip travel to and accommodation in
   Geneva.

   The selection will be based on the quality of research. Quality
   being equal, selection may be guided by an interest in promoting
   gender and regional diversity. Candidates should demonstrate how
   their research stay will contribute to their academic career and
   their home institution.
