Postdoctoral Research Fellows

College of Graduate Studies

Postdoctoral fellows are senior postgraduate students, or deemed to be postgraduate students who, having met certain criteria and having been selected, receive a research scholarship from the University of South Africa or an external funder after the completion of their doctoral degree. Some external funds may have to be administered by the University of South Africa on behalf of the funder.

Presentation of research at a minimum of two seminars/colloquiums per year at UNISA
Assisting with or co-supervise postgraduate students, where applicable, with appropriate recognition
Assisting in organising postgraduate research workshops and seminars
