Joseph Adeboye Bamidele holds a teaching and research fellowship in the Department of Economics, Royal Holloway, University of London. He is a doctoral candidate there, with a research focus on natural resource dependence and civil conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa. He previously taught at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.

While at the Kroc Institute, Bamidele’s research will take on a comparative analysis of the experiences of Sub-Sahara African countries where resource conflicts have occurred, including Angola, Burundi, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, The Republic of Congo, Liberia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Sudan. He will concentrate on different characteristics of natural resources in terms of their production and marketing, and their degrees of "lootability."
