The PEP Research Fellows in Education Program 2024 for Young African Researchers

The 2024 PEP Research Fellowship is now open for applications. The Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) invites researchers based in low- and middle-income countries to apply to join the organisation as Research Fellows (RF). PEP Research Fellows are senior, Southern-based scholars chosen through a competitive process to participate in critical PEP research, training, and policy activities. The PEP Research Fellows program aims to enhance links among South-based scholars so that they can collectively contribute a Southern viewpoint to the global development research agenda.

Eligibility

The 2024 recruitment is open to all researchers living and working in low- or middle-income countries. Priority areas for recruitment this year include:

Asia and Middle East/North Africa

• Expertise in gender, health, entrepreneurship or multidisciplinary approaches
• Female candidates are strongly encouraged as PEP strives to maintain a gender balance in its RF program. Researchers residing in a developed country and/or members of PEP staff (excluding consultants) are not eligible to be a PEP Research Fellow.

How to Apply

To apply, please:

• Send a one-page motivation letter outlining your specific goals for a first three-year mandate (see RF evaluation criteria below) to info@pep-net.org.
• Ask two references to send letters of support directly to info@pep-net.org.
