Job Title: Sabbatical Research
Employer: African Research and Resource Forum (ARRF)
The African Research and Resource Forum (ARRF) is a research, data resource, reflection and discourse organization devoted to the enhancement of thinking on African governance and development.
ARRF is a non-partisan, non-governmental, non-profit regional forum for scholars, researchers, opinion leaders and individuals to interact and share ideas. Its core activities are research, debate, analysis, publication and dissemination of research findings.
ARRF links scholars, researchers, opinion leaders and public service functionaries to interact and share ideas.
The Forum also facilitates capacity building for institutions and individuals, supports policy advocacy and provides consultancy and advisory services intended to encourage a culture of utilizing research findings for development initiatives.
ARRF invites applications for Two (2) Sabbatical Research Fellowships running from September to November 2013, supported by the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF).
The Fellowships are three (3) months each, involving desk analysis, library research and limited field work.
We have formulated two broad themes for the sabbatical research projects, thus, applicants are required to develop concrete research questions and specific objectives within the bounds of our thematic demarcation.
ARRF will select research proposals on the basis of their soundness and clarity in articulating researchable questions under these themes:
i. State-building in the Republic of South Sudan
ii. The prospects and challenges of the East African Community (EAC) Monetary Union
This program provides a modest allowance to cover the costs of accommodation, transport and other living expenses for sabbatical fellows.
In addition, the program may support necessary but limited travels within the EAC.
Qualifications
• Possess a PhD degree in a relevant field. Those with Masters Degree and more than 5 years research experience in relevant areas will also be considered.
• Have significant academic and research experience related to the proposed field of study of not less than four (4) years.
