Requirements for Postdoctoral Research Fellowships Qualification
Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Spatial Epidemiology and Biostatistics
We invite applications from ambitious post doctoral scientists, to undertake research in a Flagship research programme on epidemics in Africa. The fellow will have access to some of the finest longitudinal datasets in Africa and will apply advanced geospatial and molecular epidemiological analytical techniques to identify spatiotemporal hotspots for emerging pathogens, understand the dynamics of transmission networks and directly inform prevention and treatment efforts in Africa.
– Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Epidemiology, Ecology and Climate Studies
We invite applications from ambitious post doctoral scientists, to undertake research in a Flagship research programme on epidemics in Africa. The fellow will contribute to further developments in existing modelling techniques that estimate the reproductive potential of mosquito-species and the suitability transmission potential of arboviruses such as dengue and Zika.
– Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Epidemiology, Genomics & Phylogenetics
We invite applications from ambitious post doctoral scientists, to undertake research in a Flagship research programme on epidemics in Africa. The fellow will develop and apply molecular epidemiology, phylodynamics and phylogeography techniques to describe pathogens of epidemiological concern to Africa.
– Postdoctoral Research Software Engineers (RSEs)
We invite applications from three postdoctoral researchers with an interest in developing into professional Research Software Engineers (RSEs). Research Software Engineer (RSE) is an exciting new role for researchers with an interest and aptitude for the computational aspects of research and is of growing importance internationally.
Fellowship promoters will be appointed at the Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation (CERI) at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Postdoctoral Fellows will be awarded a well-paid tax-free fellowship in South African currency for up to 3 years. Once appointed, the successful candidates will be expected to apply for externally funded personal fellowships to be hosted by Stellenbosch University or one of CERI?s main international partners in the USA (University of Washington), U.K. (University of Oxford and Lincoln University), Germany (Heidelberger Institut für Global Health) or Brazil (FioCruz Foundation). The positions are based at superb facilities in Durban at KRISP/UKZN, Cape Town and Stellenbosch, although flexibility exists for time in South Africa and abroad.
