Call For Applications: 2x post-doctoral fellowships in migration and health in Africa
Applications are invited for two post-doctoral fellowships at the African Centre for Migration & Society (ACMS), at the University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa). These fellowships are part of a newly established Cluster of Research Excellence (CoRE) in Migration and Health supported by the African Universities Research Alliance (ARUA) and The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities.
CoRE in Migration and Health is a joint initiative between the ARUA Centre of Excellence on Migration and Mobility (CoE-MM) hosted by ACMS, the Global Health and Migration Unit (GHM), and the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health at Uppsala University (Sweden).

The successful applicants will join an interdisciplinary team of scholars exploring health and migration along the AU-EU migration corridor.

The post-doctoral fellowships will be based at Wits University under the co-supervision of Associate Professor Jo Vearey and Dr Soorej Jose Puthoopparambil of Uppsala University. In addition, the fellows will have the opportunity to be hosted by Uppsala University for a maximum of two months.
