LSE PhD students working on Africa

There are many opportunities for PhD candidates to get involved with the Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa

Early Career Fellowships for PhD students

PhD students nearing the end of their studies can apply for an early career fellowship. Such postdoctoral fellowship schemes are offered on a yearly basis by organisations such as the Leverhulme Trust or The British Academy through a competitive application process. If your research is related to Africa, the Institute can help you apply for funding.

FLIA events

The FLIA runs a public event programme throughout the year, drawing international audiences in person and online. We are always looking for new ideas, guest speakers, and collaborations across LSE departments to provide engaging events for the widest possible audience.

If you have an idea for an event, or you would like to contribute to an upcoming panel or discussion, please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss this with you.

For more information please contact: africa@lse.ac.uk

Communications programme

The FLIA runs a range of communications initiatives to engage the public and specialist audiences with its work.

The Africa at LSE blog is a useful way for PhD students to share their research, connect with a wider audience and showcase the extent of their scholarly interests. Please contact the editor for more information and view the writing guidelines.

We also run the Hub for Africa Thought which showcases the contribution of African scholars to global knowledge creation. If you could like to contribute or have a suggestion for new content, please contact the editor.

The team can also offer advice on the best ways to disseminate your research. If you have any questions, please contact: africa@lse.ac.uk.
