Benefits
The fellow will receive a monthly stipend of £2,365. Modest provision is made for the costs of relocation, fieldwork and possible publication costs.
The stipend will cover London living costs, including accommodation, utilities, food, transport and other basic expenses. The following is intended to provide a rough guide on the cost of living essentials in London.
- Accommodation: £125-150 per week for a shared house or room in halls of residence.
- Bills (e.g. water, electricity, gas, internet): £70-100 per month.
- Food: £40-60 per week.
- Transport: £25-40 per week. Buying a monthly or annual Oyster travel card will provide the best value.
Eligibilities
- It is required that the applicant holds a completed BA degree or equivalent. Master’s degree with an international focus is preferred.
- The fellowship is aimed at candidates at the mid-stage of their career and who come from academia, NGOs, business, government departments, civil society or the media. They should possess knowledge of, and an interest in, the policy challenges related to global governance.
- We do not impose age restrictions for applicants. However, Academy fellowships are aimed at individuals at the mid-stage of their career.
- Fellows are expected to work full-time towards their fellowship and therefore it is not possible to undertake a fellowship at the same time as pursuing work or studies (such as for a PhD).
