Senior Research Fellows will be required to contribute regularly to our publications and other platforms, including in local and international media. Successful candidates will be asked to lead research projects and organise workshops and conferences.

RESEARCH FELLOW

Candidates must have fulfilled all the requirements of securing a PhD from a reputable university. Those who are in the process of acquiring a PhD may apply, but must fulfil the requirements before joining the staff.
