2024 PEP Research Fellowship For Young Researchers – Apply Now

The Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) is extending a unique opportunity to scholars from low- and middle-income countries to enhance their professional journey through the PEP Research Fellowship program. This initiative is dedicated to empowering senior researchers from the Global South by integrating them into a dynamic community where they can significantly impact the development research narrative with a Southern perspective. Through a rigorous selection process, PEP aims to identify individuals who demonstrate a profound commitment to research excellence, policy engagement, and a collaborative spirit, to foster robust connections among scholars that transcend geographical boundaries.

PEP Research Fellows will benefit from a multifaceted program designed to support their academic and policy-oriented endeavours. Participants will have the chance to engage in PEP’s cutting-edge research, contribute to training workshops, and play a role in shaping global economic policies. Additionally, the program offers various platforms for fellows to disseminate their work, ranging from participation in international conferences to contributions towards PEP’s online resources and social media outreach. This fellowship not only represents a prestigious affiliation with PEP but also provides a pathway for researchers to propose and lead new initiatives aligned with PEP’s strategic goals, with potential funding opportunities to bring their innovative ideas to fruition.

PEP is currently welcoming applications for the 2024 cycle, with a particular interest in candidates from Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, and those with expertise in gender, health, entrepreneurship, or multidisciplinary approaches. In line with PEP’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, female researchers are especially encouraged to apply. Eligibility is limited to those residing in low- or middle-income countries, ensuring that the fellowship remains true to its mission of elevating voices from the Global South. The selection process will closely examine each applicant’s research output, policy engagement, and overall contribution to the fields relevant to PEP’s agenda. Interested candidates should submit their application by June 15, 2024, including a motivation letter, letters of support from two references, and an updated CV through the PEP website.
