Deadline: 30th September 2024
The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) announces a research fellowship with a focus on Africa. The fellowship is available through WCRP’s new Global South Fellowship program.
The objective of the Global South Fellowship program is to give early to mid-career researchers* from the Global South the benefit to develop their own WCRP related research activity, thereby boosting climate research activities in their own region. Fellowship topics can address a wide range of scientific questions outlined in the WCRP Science and Implementation Plan as formulated through priorities of WCRP activities (Core Projects and Lighthouse Activities).
Benefits
- The WCRP leadership has allocated CHF 50K for a Global South Fellowship with focus on Africa. The award is intended to support the salary of one researcher.
- Eligible costs can include (1) salary of the candidate comparable to host institution cost of employment; (2) travel support to a relevant WCRP meeting and essential local travel for research purposes; (3) purchase of an approved laptop. If necessary, institutional overhead can be negotiated.
- However, no equipment can be covered.
Eligibility
- For this 2024 call, WCRP is soliciting research proposals from early to mid-career candidates from the African continent.
Application Process
Each proposal needs to provide a detailed description of the research project, accompanied by a budget explaining how the resources will be utilized and over what duration, as well as whether there are any other resources that may be leveraged.
The fellowship is intended to ideally start in late 2024 (subject to negotiations). The proposal should be accompanied by a letter of commitment written and signed by the host institution.

Bravo and perfect work.
