PhD Fellowship
NIAS aims to create opportunities for early-career researchers through the NIAS PhD fellowship scheme. This initiative will offer talented early career researchers the opportunity to undertake high-quality studies that will advance their careers, and to further explore development stimulus in the African context. The PhD Fellowship adds value for participants in two key areas:
- Mentoring
The prospective student will receive assistance in selecting their research topic and how to successfully write-up a comprehensive and persuasive research proposal. In terms of editing, reviewing, and publishing finished work, coaching will be offered throughout these processes. This will be in the form of either one-to-one sessions or group seminars.
- Sponsorship
Finding funding for a PhD is a crucial aspect of a doctorate project. Another facet of NIAS PhD Fellowship is the offer of information, advice and guidance with funding, working with NIAS partnership network and other public/private funding sources.
