Researcher and Postdoctoral Fellows in Biomathematics

African Institute for Mathematical Sciences

The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, AIMS, is now in its sixth year of teaching an innovative postgraduate course which prepares students for research and for other careers in which problem-solving is paramount. This is done by involving international experts in relevant key areas.

AIMS is currently developing a Research Centre which is housed very close to its main building in Muizenberg. Multidisciplinary research projects will be pursued. Through these, postgraduate students will be prepared for and channelled to higher education institutions collaborating closely with AIMS.
