The Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) at Antwerp will award up to 3 postdoctoral grants to candidates from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) as part of a comprehensive capacity strengthening programme supported by the Directorate-General for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid (DGD).
The grants will allow selected PhD holders who are based in a LMIC home institute to carry out a tailored postdoctoral training programme with stays at ITM for maximum 3 months per calendar year in a period of maximum 3 years. The grant period starts on 1 July 2025 and can maximally last until 30 June 2028 on condition that the capacity strengthening programme supported by the Directorate-General for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid is continued beyond 2026.
All eligible applications will be reviewed by the ITM PhD Committee based on the evaluation criteria:
- Quality of the candidate (motivation, academic record, vision for the future…)
- Quality of the proposed postdoctoral research training and activities programme (including contribution to capacity strengthening of the candidate/home institute and/or home country)
- Training environment and mentoring
