The Social Science Research Council (SSRC), a not-for-profit organization devoted to the advancement of social science research and scholarship, seeks a program assistant for the Next Generation Social Sciences in Africa Program. The Next Generation of African Social Sciences Fellowship Program responds to a shortage of well-trained faculty in African higher education. The program offers fellowships to nurture the intellectual development and increase retention of early-career faculty in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. Additionally, the program features a thematic focus on renewing basic research agendas that address peace, security, and development topics, and on strengthening interdisciplinary social science research capacity on these issues. Funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York, this project complements foundation initiatives to develop and strengthen the next generation of African scholars.
