Fellowship Deadline: May 31, 2005

 A CASE ESRC studentship on a 1+3 basis is available from October 2005 to
study for a PhD on the following topic: 'An analysis of humanitarian
accountability, identity and practice in conflict affected regions'. The
studentship will be held at the School for Policy Studies, University of

We are looking for applicants with a specific interest in how humanitarian
worker identity and practices may be shaped in the context of conflict
affected regions in Africa. Applicants should be able to work in physically
and emotionally challenging environments; and preferably have experience of
working with NGOs in post-conflict settings. The research will use
qualitative and ethnographic approaches. Candidates with a background in
sociology, anthropology or gender studies are strongly encouraged to apply.

been ordinarily resident in the UK throughout the 3-year period preceding
the date of application, and b) have not been resident in the UK during any
part of that 3-year period, wholly or mainly for the purposes of full- time
education. For clarification of guidelines regarding residential status
