Qualifications and requirements: 

·       A PhD degree (NQF Level 10) in Politics, History, African Studies or a related field, completed within the last five (5) years. 

·       Evidence of research productivity including peer-reviewed publications.

·       Strong written and oral communication skills, good computer and data management skills, and the ability to work independently and in interdisciplinary teams. 

Duties and Responsibilities: 

Successful candidates will: 

• Conduct high-quality, interdisciplinary research aligned with the SARChI agenda. 

• Publish in DHET-accredited journals and peer-reviewed books. 

• Contribute to community engagement projects of SARChI. 

• Participate in empirical field work research in different settings.
