We are currently looking for three candidates to work at Anveshi on specific research projects for a period of one year. These projects should be in the areas of research outlined below. The fellowship is full time and the candidates are required to be present at Anveshi 5 days a week. There will be a programme of reading, writing, film watching and discussion over a period of four months when the fellows start work. During this period or immediately after, the fellows would begin to work on their specific projects. During the fellowship period, specified outputs e.g. reports, working papers, presentations, etc., will have to be submitted on assigned dates. The period of fellowship may be extended, if the research shows promise.
Being a fellow at Anveshi would involve working on the upkeep of the organization, i.e., at library, administrative and office duties, for about 10-15% of the fellow’s time. The selection process will be based on a formal interview conducted by a standing committee, and informal discussions with three different senior members of the Anveshi academic community. The fellowship will have a stipend not exceeding Rs.15,000 per month, inclusive of all allowances.
