The
Charles Wallace India Trust funds one Visiting Research Fellowship
per year at The University of Edinburgh. The Fellowship is held at the
Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities,
in association with the University's Centre
for South Asian Studies.
The Fellowship is for three
months and is for research in 'Contemporary History' - which covers a
broad field including political activism, journalism, historiography,
historical anthropology and research addressing cultural,social and economic
change in South Asia in recent decades.
Applicants must be Indian
citizens, resident, and pursuing their academic careers, in India. They
must have a doctorate and be under 45.
The Fellowship provides a grant for living expenses in the UK which
is currently at the monthly rate of £1300, and a contribution of £500 towards the cost of fares, payable on arrival in the UK.
The CWIT Fellow has a private
office in the Institute, with all the usual research facilities, and is
a member of IASH's lively research community. S/He
is expected to play a full part in the activities of the Institute, as
well as working closely with colleagues in the Centre for South Asian
Studies, and to give one seminar at IASH and one at the Centre on his/her
current research work during their tenure.
