University of Bergen - 10 guest researcher positions, Nile Basin Research Programme, University of Bergen

Call for 10 guest researcher positions, January - June 2007

The Nile Basin Research Programme (NBRP) is a strategic, multidisciplinary programme for Nile Basin related research and education aimed to give researchers from academic institutions in the ten Nile Basin countries an opportunity to collaborate in research groups in a multidisciplinary,
fertile academic environment together with researchers from outside the Nile Basin. It is supported by the governments of the region as a research
component of the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI). NBRP aims to recruit senior researchers and post docs to commit research on topics of common and
interdisciplinary interest.

The guest researchers will stay at the University of Bergen for a five month period. The researchers will be paid Norwegian standard salary. During the stay in Bergen, the guest researchers are meant to participate in general academic activities as seminars and conferences, as well as producing a substantial publishable text. They are also supposed to follow up the research upon return to their country. NBRP will organize seminars and lectures by leading international scholars.

The research themes will vary throughout the project period (2007-2010). The research theme for spring 2007 is:
Nile Basin development and planning in the post-colonial period. The relationship between river basin management, river projects and economic and political developments in the Nile Basin countries during the last fifty years.

NBRP is open to applicants with PhD degrees or equal qualifications. Applicants should be scholars and/or researchers holding positions at research institutions in the Nile Basin Region.
