Want to apply mathematical skills and physical laws into solving puzzles in biology and ecology? Earmarked postgraduate bursaries and postdoctoral fellowships are now available by the NRF SARChI grant:
- For postgraduate bursaries (Honours/MSc/PhD), prospective students are encouraged to contact us to finetune your project within the SU internal deadline. Note, due to the NRF policy change, students are required to apply directly through the calls at the National Research Foundation with the SARChI UID 89967. There is an ad-hoc offline application made available by the NRF for SARChI Chairs to nominate students before mid January; contact us if you missed the deadline.
- For postdoctoral fellowships, contact us with documents required in this open call.
- Prospective students and postdocs are also encouraged to secure their own scholarhsips and fellowships from a number of research funding agencies and partners, such as NRF, AIMS Next Einstein Inititiave, CIB, CoE MASS. Find out more at Stellenbosch University Postdoctoral Office and Postgraduate Office.
