The Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) is excited to announce the opening of applications for its prestigious PhD Fellowships for the year 2025. CARTA, a partnership between eight African universities, four African research institutes, and eight non-African collaborators is dedicated to addressing the critical need for skilled academics in Africa’s higher education institutions, particularly in the field of public and population health.
The CARTA PhD Fellowships are fully funded opportunities designed for African students who hold a Master’s degree in a relevant field and are interested in pursuing a PhD without prior admission. Applicants must be affiliated with one of the participating African institutions and demonstrate a commitment to enhancing institutional capacity. The research proposal for the PhD program should focus on public and population health issues.
Successful fellows will benefit from a range of support, including coverage of advanced seminar costs, a monthly stipend, research funding, a laptop with the necessary software, support to attend an international conference, and the chance to engage in preferred training programs. Interested candidates are encouraged to reach out to the CARTA focal person at their institution, with applications due by April 15, 2024. For more information and detailed application procedures, please visit the official CARTA website. Apply now and seize this incredible opportunity to advance your academic and research career in public and population health.
