The Visiting Scholars Programme gives qualified scholars an opportunity to research topics related to development and/or global economic issues and to participate in UNU-WIDER activities.
ELIGIBILITY:
Applicants should have a PhD degree in economics or a development-related discipline. A good publication record is an added advantage. Applications from suitably qualified early-career, female, and developing country researchers are particularly encouraged.
Preference will be given to applicants whose research overlaps with our current research program, but we remain open to proposals on all aspects of development.
As part of your application, you will be asked to upload your curriculum vitae. If you experience problems with uploading this document then it can be emailed to the following address: scholars1(at)wider.unu.edu.
BENEFIT:
UNU-WIDER provides medical insurance (for medical and hospital services resulting from sickness and accident during your stay at UNU-WIDER), and a monthly stipend of EUR 3,250 as a contribution towards travel, visa, accommodation and other out-of-pocket expenses.
Visiting scholars may apply for a supplementary grant to cover high travel costs (incl. visa and related travel) for the part exceeding EUR 1,200 (lowest economy class fare) provided that the ticket is paid by the visiting scholar, and no other travel grants are received from another source. The programme does not provide services or cover expenses related to dependents.
