New call for applications for two PhD Fellowships in malaria research
8 July 2009
The Malaria Capacity Development Consortium is seeking applications for the second round of the PhD fellowship programme supported by the Wellcome Trust. This is open to African scientists wishing to pursue a career in malaria research. There are two fellowships still available to develop a PhD at the University of Malawi, College of Medicine (www.medcol.mw). Successful candidates will be registered in a joint PhD programme with University of Liverpool. The consortium secretariat is based at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Awards consist of a four-year fellowship and will cover: stipend, tuition fees, the costs of up to one year spent with a partner European University and up to £50,000 of research expenses for a project that is related to the treatment or prevention of malaria.
Applicants must be African nationals, normally resident in a malaria endemic country of Africa and have an intention to pursue a long-term career in malaria research or control. Candidates must have a first or upper second class first degree in an area relevant to malaria control, an MSc or equivalent degree would be an advantage.
Apply now for a place on the MCDC PhD programme.
Previous unsuccessful applicants to COM are not eligible for this round.
The application deadline is 31 August 2009.
