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.
