    • Fellowship Announcement for 2022

    • Anthra  is pleased to announce the next fellowship for research on “Women in Pastoral Societies”

       The body of research and scholarship on pastoral systems is increasing but there is still very little academic scholarship on  pastoral women, their  knowledge  related to livestock , land, natural resources, health and nutrition. There is even  less  documented on their status , their access to resources , assets & services.

      We invite applications from researchers interested in the subject to  apply for an 18 month fulltime fellowship starting early 2022.

      The research will be based in Maharashtra  as part of a larger project  entitled “ Bringing Visibility and Recognition to Women  Livestock Farmers and Pastoralists and their Knowledge” . The researcher will work with pastoral groups in the state of Maharashtra and report to the office in Pune. Knowledge of Marathi is therefore essential.  The selected candidate will work closely with experts in the field of pastoralism and gender .

      The fellowship carries a monthly stipend of Rs.30,000/- per month for a  period of 18 months. There is a separate budget for field related expenses. Field work will be undertaken once the COVID situation resolves.

      Applicants are expected to  have a Masters degree.  

      Interested candidates are requested to submit :-

      • Their latest CV
      • Any recent research articles or writings
      • A 700 -1200 word note on why you think this research is important and  how you  can contribute to the project with skills , knowledge , approaches  .
      • Two references

      Candidates who do not fit the specified criteria/ qualifications, but are keen to do this work, may write to  the Director of Anthra at the address below.

      Last date for receiving  applications  15th Dec 2021 .
