Eligibility and Nomination
Consideration of recipients for the AGNES Grant for Junior Researchers is only by nomination of candidates and not through direct application. AGNES Members and African Humboldtians may nominate two excellent candidates who graduated with PhD from 2020 onwards. Excellent candidates who will graduate before the end of 2024 (confirmation of PhD degree must be submitted before AGNES Selection Board meeting, scheduled to take place in October/November 2024) may also be nominated.
The nominator should consider only candidates with outstanding academic records and with good publications in peer-reviewed international journals indexed in SCOPUS or Web of Science (WoS). Candidates MUST provide the SCOPUS or Web of Science links (URL) to each publication. The nominee must be a national of a sub-Saharan African country and be interested in carrying out a post-doctoral scientific research project in Germany under the auspices of the fellowship programmes of the AvH (https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/web/humboldt-fellowship-postdoc.html).
NB: It is the wish of the AvH and of AGNES to attract excellent candidates from all sub- Saharan countries. For the two grants, AGNES Governing Board will aspire to achieve 50% inclusion of female researchers on the basis of merit. Nominators are therefore requested to also contact colleagues from other African countries to identify excellent candidates for nomination. AGNES encourages the nomination of candidates from all research fields, including ALL Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences (for the AGNES Junior Research Grant).
Nominations close at 12:00 GMT on August 30th, 2024.
