Africa Institute of South Africa: Archie Mafeje Fellowships Program
Africa Institute of South Africa: Archie Mafeje Fellowships Program: As part of our attempt to build a solid community of social science scholars in Africa, it is vital that we pay tribute to the pathfinders, the icons, and the frontrunners in order to demonstrate our appreciation for their contributions. In this regard, it is appropriate that we celebrate the intellectual and inspirational impact which people like Professor Archie Mafeje have had. Mafeje’s oeuvre provides a rich canvass for his intellectual portrait. His personal reverence, political principle and theoretical acumen have combined into a formidable intellectual in the true sense of the word.
The Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA) has thus established a Fellowship Programme in honour of Professor Archie Mafeje. The Fellowship provides an opportunity for African scholars to conduct critical and cutting edge research in line with the Mafeje tradition as well as contributing to AISA’s research programmes.
Duration
Scholars are invited to apply for the three Fellowships, which will be for the duration of three months each. Fellowships normally run from January to March, April to June, and July to September. Only one person will be in post at any time. Successful Fellows will be based at AISA’s offices in Pretoria, South Africa. They will have access to AISA’s world-class library and research facilities as well as a chance to partake in its wealth of research networks.
Eligibility
Preferably, candidates should be non-South Africans in possession of a PhD in a field related to African studies (and, in particular, a field relevant to AISA’s current research programmes). In addition, the applicant should be backed by relevant working experience in an African institution outside of South Africa and a track record of published work in refereed publications.
During the tenure Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in the many events at AISA, and to interact with staff and other fellows from around the world.
Expectations
During the three months tenure at AISA Fellows will be expected to conduct one seminar and write a monograph, addressing the themes outlined in the assigned projects or developed in his or her independent proposal.
Financial Arrangements
For the successful applicant, AISA will provide basic working and residential accommodation, travelling expenses, and a stipend for the duration of the Fellowship.
Applications
The application form, which will be available online, should be completed and returned with the following:
Detailed curriculum vitae,
Letter of motivation,
A research proposal with a topic focussing on AISA’s research niche,
Contact details of three referees,
An indication of availability.
Applications must be received at least three months before the start of each fellowship.
Selection
Fellows will be selected after a Selection Committee that includes Chief Executive Officer has reviewed applications.
Enquiries and applications should be addressed to:

Dear sir/ Madam
My name is Amare Sisay and I am an Ethiopian. I gradulated with pharmacy diploma from the former Jimma institute of health sciences by the year 1986. after serving my country for about 7 years and 6 months in different health institutions as a pharmacy technician and latter druggist, I joined again Jimma university as an advance standing student to pursue my first degree study in pharmacy in 2003., and graduated from the university with first degree in pharmacy in 2006.
For the past two years, I have been working as instructor and department head at Awassa health science college which trains health science students at diploma level.
I have a great interest to pursue my post graduate study in fields related to the profession of pharmacy or public health.
So, would you please offer me a free scholarship opportunity so that after the completion of my post graduate study, I could be helpful to my country in general and my students in particular?
Thank you.
I am looking forward to hear from you
