Call For Applications: African Synthesis Centre for Climate Change, Environment and Development (ASCEND) BAOBAB 2024

June 24, 2024June 24, 2024 press_admin 0 Comments

This Request for Proposals invites potential team leaders to propose an opportunity for a transdisciplinary team to use synthesis research approaches to produce actionable research for reducing risks from climate change in Africa. Actionable research goes beyond understanding a problem to being solutions-oriented—that is asking “what can be done?”— and informing policy and/or practice. It is expected that the synthesis research will include data and knowledge on Africa but this may also involve synthesis of data and knowledge beyond Africa that has relevance for the continent, such as on global climate finance flows or case studies in other contexts of relevance for Africa.

We are looking for up to 6 teams that will convene multiple times at ASCEND in Cape Town, and conduct their work over 2 years. A full-time postdoctoral research fellow is funded for each team. Teams are expected to start in the last quarter of 2024.
