Website: PROBio-Africa Fellowships - FEBS
PROBio-Africa ( Promoting Research Opportunities for Biochemists in Africa) is a joint venture between FEBS, IUBMB and the Federation of African Societies of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (FASBMB).
The PROBio-Africa Fellowships Programme enables PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to spend up to six months (1-6 months) in the laboratory of a scientist in a FEBS country* who belongs to a FEBS Constituent Society.
In that way the awardees will get access to technologies and expertise that may not be readily available in their home countries, allowing them to grow their knowhow and skills, and contribute to building capacity in the molecular life sciences at home.
*A ‘FEBS country’ is a country in Europe and neighbouring regions that has a FEBS Constituent Society (a national Society that belongs to FEBS).
Eligibility
Applications are welcomed from:
- students officially enrolled in PhD programmes in African countries and affiliated with FASBMB (via their corresponding national societies) for short stays (1–6 months) in order to carry out research work that is a part of their PhD thesis.
- African postdoctoral fellows and new researchers (not more than 5 years after obtaining the PhD degree) affiliated with FASBMB (via their corresponding national societies) in order to carry experiments that require special techniques and expertise or to facilitate other forms of scientific collaboration or advanced training.
