Visiting Scholars Program 2012
Overview: The Visiting Scholar Programme (VScP) has been instituted
at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR) as one
of its outreach activities with the objective of supporting research
being conducted by Ph.D. Scholars and junior faculty members of
colleges and universities in India and abroad. The scholarship will
enable up to five selected scholars to spend three months at a stretch
at IGIDR anytime during 1 April 2012 ? 31 March 2013 to work on a
proposal that can be satisfactorily completed during their stay.
Eligibility: At the time of application, applicants should possess a
Masters degree in any field and be registered for Ph.D. on a topic
broadly involving any area of economics including energy and
environmental policy. Applicants are required to submit their
curriculum vitae (CV), a research proposal and two letters of
recommendation. One of the letters of recommendation should be from
the concerned Ph.D. supervisor in the case of a Ph.D. student, and the
principal of the College/University in the case of a junior faculty
member. Recommendation letters should clearly give the contact
details of the recommenders. Candidates should clearly mention in the
application the preferred three-month period of stay at IGIDR.
Research Proposal: The proposal should involve economic issues
including those related to energy and environment. It should be
strictly within 1,500 words, and its scope should be such that the
project can be completed in three months. Proposals in both
theoretical and empirical issues will be considered. The research
proposal should be accompanied by a signed certification by the
applicant as well as by the concerned thesis supervisor/Principal,
stating that the research proposal is original work of the applicant,
and has not been submitted to any journal for publication.
Selection will be based on a joint evaluation of the CV, letters of
recommendation and the quality of the research proposal submitted at
the time of application.
Emoluments: Selected scholars will be paid a stipend of Rs.9000/- per
month, to and fro three-tier AC train fare, and provided free
accommodation on campus for their duration of stay. Foreign scholars
residing outside India, however, will have to bear the transportation
expenses on their own.
Requirements: Selected scholars will be required to submit a progress
report of the research project at the end of six weeks and a complete
research report along with a seminar presentation of the research
findings at the end of three-month stay. Failure to submit a progress
report on time may lead to the termination of the scholarship
programme. Once the research project is completed and published, the
scholar should acknowledge IGIDR in an appropriate way.
Application Deadline & Notifications: Applications can be sent
electronically or by post to reach IGIDR by 2nd March 2012. Letters
of recommendation should be sent by the concerned persons directly to
IGIDR via email/post. The subject head for email and top of the
envelope for post should indicate APPLICATION FOR VISITING SCHOLARS
PROGRAM 2012. Selected applicants will be notified via email/post by
20th March 2012. Those selected will have to accept the offer latest
by 4th April 2012.
