The POSSIBLE-Africa Fellowship Programme is a 24 months early postdoctoral fellowship opportunity that aims to build a critical mass of independent African research leaders in the SS&H to lead science programmes at local and international levels
to outstanding African scholars in the Social Sciences & Humanities (SS&H) who propose research that targets to create evidence to inform sustainable development within the African continent. These leaders will have the opportunity to engage successfully with policy makers, communities, and other stakeholders, and to serve as mentors and supervisors for the next generation of researchers in Africa.
The POSSIBLE- Africa is an initiative of the Science for Africa Foundation (SFA Foundation) that is being implemented with funding support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The fellowship opportunity also agrees with the goal of SFA Foundation to address the continent’s most pressing developmental needs by generating knowledge that solves problems and informs decision-making to form a high-quality and equitable cohort of postdoctoral fellows in the social sciences and humanities (SS&H), develop emerging independent research leaders and enhance training in SS&H and lastly to establish a SS&H advisory board to guide POSSIBLE Africa fellowships and other SS&H initiatives of SFA Foundation.
