4 CARTA Fellows awarded Post-doctoral Fellowships

The Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) has awarded its first ever post-doctoral fellowships to CARTA fellows who have completed the PhD fellowship program. The awards announced yesterday saw four fellows awarded the fellowships competitively. CARTA aims at securing the future and fostering the career growth of its high-achieving graduates and thus the post-doctoral fellowships are a good way to ensure this is turned into a reality.

The post-doctoral fellowships will offer the awardees the opportunity to build specific skills, expand their networks, encounter research leadership and role models, receive strong mentoring and learn the demands of community and public engagement. The fellowships will run for a maximum of 12 months and are tenable at any African CARTA partner-institution or associated research institutes.

The fellows will undertake their post-doctoral fellowships at institutions they had identified and each has been assigned a mentor prior to this award who will work with them to help them build their skills.
