  • Qualitative primary research (including interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation and participatory action research);
  • Implementation science or knowledge translation (including community engagement); and
  • Study participation or community engagement in public health research.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will contribute to both research and teaching activities linked to these areas.

Fellowship

  • The fellowship is initially available for one year, starting from September 2021 (or close to that), ranging between R330,000 and R370,000 (tax-free) per annum. Renewal for further years (up to a maximum of 3 years) will be considered depending on satisfactory performance and continued funding.

  • Experience and expertise in qualitative primary research and evidence synthesis.
  • A strong academic record with evidence of research experience and peer-reviewed publications.
  • All candidates will be considered, but preference will be given to a suitably qualified South African citizen or permanent resident.

Advantageous skills include:

  • Grant-writing and project management experience, including ability to liaise with a range of stakeholders;
  • Experience organising online and face-to-face workshops and engagements; and
  • Teaching and postgraduate supervision experience.

Application

Eligible candidates should provide the following:

  • A cover letter by the candidate motivating suitability to the position available.
  • A one-page summary outlining their research interest and how this opportunity may advance that.

  • An academic transcript.
  • Names and contact details of at least 3 referees who have supervised or worked with the candidate and can speak to their experience and skills.
