MAGNETS Fellowship Programme

The MAGNETS Fellowship Programme offers fully funded two-year Master’s fellowships in malaria genomic epidemiology and biostatistics for early- and mid-career researchers in sub-Saharan Africa. Ten fellowships are available across four African host institutions, with current openings specifically for the Centro de Investigação em Saúde de Manhiça (CISM) in Mozambique. The fellowship provides comprehensive support including tuition coverage, a living stipend, computing resources, training opportunities, mentorship, and career development activities.

Tuition coverage for approved Master’s programmes, monthly stipend, computing resources, mentorship, workshops, regional conference participation, and an individual development plan

Early- and mid-career researchers in sub-Saharan Africa with a background in biological sciences, medicine, statistics, public health or related fields, affiliated with an institution involved in malaria or infectious disease research, who meet Master’s admission requirements and commit to working in sub-Saharan Africa for at least two years after the fellowship.

Review the official MAGNETS guidelines, identify an eligible Master’s programme, and apply to both the fellowship and the Master’s admission process; applications go through eligibility screening, merit review, interviews, and final selection
