IMPORTANT NOTE: Only Master and PhD graduates with an African nationality will be considered for the opportunity.
The selection committee would like to receive applications from countries across the African continent and especially encourages female candidates to apply.
You are only eligible for a PhD position if you meet the entry requirements of Wageningen University for a PhD. If a candidate does not have a master’s degree yet, but will obtain one in the near future this can be stated in the application. In case an application for a postdoc position is made, candidates must have a recognized doctoral degree or a set date of PhD award in the near future. In both cases the applicant must be fluent in spoken and written scientific English.
Only a professor* at Wageningen University can submit an application to the Africa Talent Program. Therefore, you will have to find a Wageningen professor who will endorse your application (list of chair groups and contact information can be found here). A professor of Wageningen University may only submit one application.
*When the word ‘professor’ is used, persons who have the ius promovendi at Wageningen University are meant.
It is up to the talented scientist to provide the appropriate documentation that could convince the selection committee that you are a suitable candidate for the African Talent Program. Please use the prescribed format.
Applications will first be pre-evaluated by an appropriate Wageningen graduate school (deadline is on June 1, 2022) with each of the six graduate schools allowed to submit a maximum of three applications. Individual graduate schools may have additional requirements.
