**Research Fellow**:
**Are you an ambitious researcher looking for a new challenge? Do you have expertise in Mehri poetry and its relationship with the natural environment? Do you want to further your career by making an important contribution to this ambitious and exciting research project with the opportunity to work with leading researchers in the UK?**

The University of Leeds is looking for a Research Fellow, with a PhD in Mehri linguistics and a strong background in Mehri poetry to fill an international fellowship position funded by the British Council International Fellowship scheme. The fellow will be required to come to the University of Leeds for a period on 9 months in 2023.

Project: Heritage protection, sustainable development and resilience through traditional ecopoetics in al-Mahrah, Yemen.

This fellowship programme will examine the ecopoetics of traditional Mehri poetry produced by women and/or men. The aims of the fellowship are:

- To create an open-access, community-friendly archive of traditional Bahīn, Haff and Danadon recorded from men and women from al-Mahrah that address the human-nature relationship in the desert, the mountains, the coastal region and the sea, to analyse the metaphorical language of traditional ecopoetics;
- To collaborate with men and women local community members to re-value and produce ecopoetry in Bāhīn and in Danadon hemistich forms.
- To host two online poetry workshops for the Mehri communities in al-Mahrah. The aim of the online poetry workshops is to encourage younger generation speakers to disseminate traditional Mehri ecopoetry, to produce poetry of other types relating to the current environment, and to reflect on the effects of biocultural loss.
- To facilitate online collaboration between women poets in al-Mahrah and women poets in the Yemeni diaspora in the UK, to ensure that women’s voices are heard, responded to, and promoted.
