Information for FMHS Hosts of Postdoctoral Fellows

A quarter of Stellenbosch University's 300+ postdoctoral fellows is hosted within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Each postdoc is supervised and mentored by a host and located within a specific academic environment. Postdoctoral fellows are productive members of the SU community. They are expected to make a substantial contribution towards research outputs, while being developed and groomed as research professionals. International postdocs also have the potential to strengthen cross-border research collaboration networks. For these reasons, your interest in hosting a postdoctoral fellow, are valuable to the faculty and university.

Fulltime FMHS academic or research staff apply to host a potential postdoctoral fellow and then advertise each fellowship to recruit a suitable fellow. Awards start from R220,000 per annum for two years, with application closing dates between March and September. Fellowships are possible with the support of the FMHS Research Committee and other funding sources.
