Deadline: 01 April, 2020
The African Studies Centre Leiden (ASCL) is offering a three-month visiting fellowship from September up to and including November 2020. Visiting research fellows use their time in Leiden for data analysis and/or writing, often on a joint project with one or more ASCL staff members. A visiting research fellowship is for a maximum of 90 days.
On occasion, the ASCL also hosts self-financed visitors (PhD students or visiting academics).

If the accommodation on offer is unacceptable to the fellow, they will be asked to look for alternative accommodation. However, alternative accommodation will not be paid for by the fellowship)
- A medical/liability insurance (please note that this insurance does not cover the cost of treatment of pre-existing medical conditions)
