Iso Lomso Fellowships provide an
exceptional early career opportunity for Africa’s brightest minds in academia. Iso Lomso means
‘the eye of tomorrow’ in isiXhosa: seeing towards the future, laying the
foundations for tomorrow.
Iso Lomso Fellows will enjoy:
- a
three-year attachment to STIAS during which time they may spend a total of
ten months in residence at STIAS to develop and pursue a long-term
research programme; - the
possibility of a residency at a sister institute for advanced study in
North America, Europe or elsewhere; - funding
to attend up to three international conferences or training workshops
anywhere in the world; - support
to convene a workshop with collaborators at STIAS; - lecturer
replacement subsidy for the fellow’s home institution during residency
periods.
The programme is
aimed at African scholars who have obtained a doctoral degree within the
preceding eight years and who hold an academic position at a university or
research institution anywhere in Africa. Preference will be given to candidates
who have established a research programme and have completed a post-doctoral
fellowship. All disciplines are considered.
