Dear Colleague

Urban Studies Foundation Global South Scholarship

We are writing to you regarding a new scholarship for early career urban
scholars working in the global south to work up to a year at a
well-resourced and active research environment in the north in collaboration
with a northern mentor.  The scholarship will be funded by the Urban Studies
Foundation, a charity registered (in Scotland) for the purposes of
furthering urban research.  The Foundation is closely allied to Urban
Studies, each of us being editors on the journal.  Full details of the
scholarship scheme are attached.

The scheme is highly dependent on identification of an exceptionally
promising urbanist somewhere in the global south who would benefit from such
a scholarship in affording sabbatical time to analyze and write up already
completed fieldwork.  The identification of such a scholar is the principal
reason for contacting you.  We are advertising the post electronically in a
number of sites, as well as approaching established scholars working on
urban problems who may have on-going or prospective collaborative ties with
early career researchers in developing countries.

As you will notice from the attached, the northern mentor is anticipated to
play a relatively active role in ensuring that the goals of the scholar's
visit are attained.  This could result in jointly written publications
and/or pave the way for future collaborative ties.  The role of the mentor
will vary depending on circumstances.  There will be a small travel budget
for the mentor to liaise with the scholar in his/her home country at the
beginning or end of the scholar's sabbatical leave.  (The post is being
simultaneously advertised in a number of websites, in particular
jobs.ac.uk.)

Thus, if you know a likely candidate for the scholarship, we would
appreciate if you could bring the opportunity to her/his attention.
Furthermore, if you are willing to act as his/her mentor, we would welcome
hearing from you directly.


Kind regards

Professor Ronan Paddison    Dr Deborah Bryceson    Dr Danny
MacKinnon
