Visiting Research Fellowships are offered to established scholars from universities and research institutes in Africa and around the world. Visiting Fellows will normally spend six to twelve months at UCT. They will be expected to build local research and analytical capacity, conduct systematic research, analyse data and present findings. Applicants must possess a PhD and a demonstrated research record in the fields of political science or related disciplines. Interested researchers are invited to submit to the Director of DARU a curriculum vitae, together with a detailed proposal outlining the type of work to be conducted and the intended research output.
