Post-doctoral fellowship: Faculty of Law

Post-doctoral fellowship: 1 February 2019 - 31 January 2020

The Faculty of Law has a post-doctoral fellowship available. This fellowship is awarded for a year.

The primary responsibility of successful applicants will be to participate in the Faculty's research programme, publish in academic journals and attend academic conferences. The fellow will not be expected to undertake any teaching responsibilities in the Law Faculty, but may be exposed to limited postgraduate supervision and research administration tasks.

Requirements:

• A doctoral degree (LLD), which had to be obtained not prior to 1 January 2014.
• The successful candidate may not hold any other full-time or part-time job at the same time and may not undertake any other work for remuneration.
• Good computer skills (MS Word, Internet research skills).
• Fluent (reading, writing and speaking) English; second and third languages are an advantage.
• The successful candidate must be able to work full-time in Stellenbosch for the duration of the fellowship.
• Persons from under-represented groups (race, gender, culture or otherwise) are particularly encouraged to apply.

The post-doctoral fellowship package includes:

• A fellowship of R200 000 for a year, payable in two instalments (tax free).
• A working space.

Please note that postdoctoral fellows are not appointed as employees and are therefore not eligible for employee benefits. Postdoctoral fellowships are also awarded tax free.

Send an application letter and supporting materials to Prof N Smit, Faculty of Law, Stellenbosch University, at yolandi@sun.ac.za by 10 January 2019.

Applicants may be expected to attend an interview (in person, by telephone or Skype).
