We are delighted to announce that ODID Junior Research Fellows Oliver Owen and Indrajit Roy have both won ESRC Future Research Leaders awards.

The Future Research Leaders scheme aims to support outstanding early career researchers to carry out excellent research and to develop all aspects of their research and knowledge exchange skills.

The three-year awards will support Oliver's research on 'Social contracts in transformation: Tax reform in Nigeria' and Indrajit's work on 'Political Remittances: The Migration of Ideas, Identities and Practices'.

The ESRC expected to make around 70 awards in total in the 2013/14 round.
