ARUA Early Career Research Fellowships
The African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA), with support from the Mastercard Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York, is launching this Early-Career Research Fellowship program. The initiative will fund up to forty-two (42) early-career researchers to conduct globally competitive research at the host and affiliated institutions of ARUA’s thirteen (13) Centres of Excellence (CoEs).
Each fellowship will last six months, between July 2025 and June 2026. A maximum of four fellows will be assigned to each CoE, with all positions filled by December 2025. At least 70% of the fellowships are reserved for female candidates, and applicants must be no older than 35 years at the time of application.
ARUA will continue to accept applications for the 42 positions until they are all filled,
with a deadline of December 2025. However, candidates who apply before May 15,
2025, will be considered for the first batch of positions. Successful candidates from this
batch will be notified by June 1, 2025, and are expected to start their fellowships on
July 1, 2025.
