Employer:Point Sud Research Centre for Local Knowledge”
Scholarships Level: Postdoctoral
Scholarships Description: As a place of joint research, the “Point Sud Research Centre for Local Knowledge” in Bamako/Mali is to play an instrumental role in efforts to attain this goal. The Goethe-University of Frankfurt/Main is currently the main supporter of the centre’s operational capability. It’s funding of the centre’s infrastructure aims at enabling Point Sud to become an effective centre for the organization for academic activities in Bamako.
To this end, Frankfurt University and the German Research Foundation (DFG) have agreed to support the “Programme Point Sud” with which Africa-related activities in the humanities and social sciences at the Point Sud venue can be funded. Financial support by the DFG will cover the costs of travel and accommodation for participants of activities that have been granted financial support. Due to climate conditions in Mali, the period of activities is restricted to the months between October and March.
The programme is open to all researchers based in Germany working on Africa-related themes. The various individual activities hosted by the centre in any given year will be selected and coordinated by a programme committee. For the purposes of applying for DFG support, individual funding applications for the specific activities will be bundled and submitted by the University of Frankfurt to the DFG as a single collective application, which will then be evaluated by the DFG. The applicant listed on the collective application is therefore a member of Frankfurt University who is also serving as chair of the programme committee. Individual activities must be initiated by researchers working at German academic institutions. However, there are no national restrictions for the participants of individual activities, although there should be a balanced proportion between participants from Germany and other countries.
