Post Docour score
Postdoctoral Fellowships on Innovative Methods and Metrics for Agriculture and Nutrition Actions (IMMANA Fellowships) are now open for applications under Round 5.
IMMANA Fellowships aim to create a cadre of emerging leaders in agriculture, nutrition, and health research.
ELIGIBILITY:
Eligible applicants will have completed a doctorate (PhD, DPhil, DPH, MD, DVM or similar terminal degree) in any field related to agriculture, nutrition and health within three years of the proposed Fellowship start date, and be seeking a career in research, education and engagement at the intersection of two or more of these fields. IMMANA strongly encourages applications from female candidates who are citizens of low- and middle-income countries. Selection will give preference to applicants who have research or faculty appointments in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, but applicants may be of any nationality and have earned their doctorate anywhere.
REQUIREMENTS:
IMMANA Fellows require a “home mentor” which represents one of the applicant’s previous employers or educational institutions, and the “host mentor” represents the institution where the applicant proposes to conduct their Fellowship-supported research. At least one of the two mentors must be located in Africa or Asia.
SCHOLARSHIP VALUE:
Fellows will be provided with a stipend of £34,000 (approximately $52,000) for the 12-month period, plus a research allowance of £7,500 to cover local travel and other research expenses (such as translation, hardware, software supplies, etc.), as well as participation in IMMANA Academy conferences, trainings and workshops. All payments will be made in as lump sums against completion of program milestones. Fellows are then responsible for arranging and paying all of their travel and other expenses during the project period.
DURATION: 12-month
DEADLINE: Applicants are welcome and encouraged to submit a concept note to confirm eligibility and receive valuable feedback. Concept notes should be submitted as soon as possible, on a rolling basis until 31 December 2020. Full proposals must be submitted by 1 February 2021
NO OF AWARDS: The IMMANA programme offers six Fellowships per year
