Qualifications

SAR can assist eligible threatened scholars who are seeking short-term positions of refuge or assistance in resuming their academic careers. Scholars may be academic professors/ researchers/ lecturers with a substantial and recent history of employment at an academic institution of higher education and who have authored academic publications. Most scholars we support have a PhD; on an exceptional case-by-case basis we are able to work with scholars at the MA/MS level. Given an increasingly high volume of requests for assistance, SAR placement assistance is generally limited to scholars facing the most immediate and severe threats, including threats of violence, torture, wrongful imprisonment or prosecution.
