DESCRIPTION:The objective of the Swiss Subsaharan Africa Migration (S-SAM)
  network\, based at the University of Neuchâtel and funded by the SERI\, 
 is to build and strengthen long-term partnerships between migration resear
 chers in Subsaharan Africa and Switzerland.\n \nS-SAM calls upon late PhD
  and early postdoctoral researchers in Subsaharan Africa or Switzerland to
  submit proposals for a short pilot study\, an academic exchange or a comb
 ination of the two.\n \nCall topic: human migration to Europe before migr
 ants reach their destination. Any disciplines. Innovative and experimental
  research is encouraged.\n\n	Migration and health: for novel research on t
 he situation ‘en route’ to Europe\, how health affects decisions to mi
 grate (or stay put)\, how the migration experience itself affects the ment
 al and physical health of migrants\, or the migration trajectories of heal
 th workers.\n	Reasons and motivations to migrate: for novel research on th
 e role of limited and contradictory information in decisions to migrate\, 
 on aspirations and abilities to migrate\, on the nature of different ‘pu
 ll’ effects and the choice of destination country\, or on the role of in
 formation in decisions to migrate. Research may focus on questions of prep
 arations\, anticipation of problems ‘en route’ and in the country of d
 estination (e.g. discrimination)\, or on similarities and differences betw
 een South-South and South-North migration.\n	Student migration: for novel 
 research on student migration from Subsaharan Africa to Switzerland and Eu
 rope\, as a specific motivation to migrate.\n\n \nWho can apply: late PhD
  (typically last year) and early postdoctoral researchers (typically 1st o
 r 2nd year) based at a university in sub-Saharan Africa or Switzerland.\n
  \nDuration: no upper or lower limit.\n \nFunding for small pilot studie
 s: CHF 1000-5000.\n \nFunding for academic exchange: CHF 5000-10’000 (i
 ndicative – see SNSF guidelines)\n\n\n	For travel costs\, the maximum is
  CHF 1200 for Western\, Central\, and Eastern Africa\; and CHF 1500 for So
 uthern Africa.\n	For room and board expenses\, calculate CHF 3000 per mont
 h.\n	Researchers from lower income countries can budget a maximum of CHF 3
 500.\n	Research funding incurred during the exchange can be included in th
 e budget.\n\n \nDeadline: 15 September 2019\nFieldwork in late 2019 or ea
 rly 2020.\n \nFor further information and application\, please have a loo
 k at the call webpage\, including information on past supported projects a
 nd the link to the online application form.\n
