The AUL welcomes inquiries from potential visiting scholars and researchers – our Research Affiliates. Sometimes we may even contact you! Researchers affiliated with the AUL receive various privileges, the most important of which is being part of an outstanding network of urban scholars conducting pioneering research and pushing transformational urban policy change in Africa. Affiliated researchers can be based in a university, think tank, research organization, or any other cities-related profession, but must demonstrate the capacity to conduct high-quality research closely linked to the Research Clusters of the AUL. If you are interested in becoming an affiliated researcher please contact Professor Matthew McCartney and enclose a research proposal and CV.
