DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

WiSER has over the last ten years established itself as the leading South African interdisciplinary research institute in the Humanities and Social Sciences, promoting local and international debate on the complexities of change in South Africa and Africa, understood from comparative and global perspectives.

A strong commitment to doctoral training and supervision is a critical part of WISER’s mission. Funding from the Mellon Foundation has enabled us to continue our long-standing doctoral fellowship programme.

We call for applications for two 2-3year fellowships to be awarded to outstanding students in appropriate fields of study.
