The Foundation for Urban and Regional Studies (FURS), a charity associated with the International Journal of Urban and Regional Studies, wishes to appoint a post-doctoral Research Fellow, for the calendar year 2013. The Fellowship will be based in the African Centre for Cities (ACC) at the University of Cape Town and is for a period of twelve months.

The Fellowship is open to any young scholar of postdoctoral standing who is a citizen of an African country (excluding the Republic of South Africa) and who would find the ACC a congenial work environment for intellectual reflection, scholarly engagement and debate, and writing. Preference may be given to scholars whose work relates to cities of the global south, and to Africa in particular.
