UNU-IIGH is offering a Postdoctoral Fellowship in support of its postgraduate education programme. This programme serves as a complement to the Ph.D. Fellowship Programme. We are targeting scholars from various countries especially from the developing region of the world with opportunities based on gender equity.
The Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme targets five fellowship positions each year for a period of twelve months. The Fellowship Programme has four core aims:
- young scholars conduct research at a postdoctoral level, particularly those from developing countries
- scholars participate in and contribute to the research activities of UNU-IIGH
- scholars interact with Malaysians and provide a conduit between the host country, their home country, developing country researcher and the UN system.
- provide UNU-IIGH and its academic community with an opportunity to benefit from the diverse knowledge, background, and experience
