The University of Pretoria opened the Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme in the field of cyber security and data processing

The University of Pretoria (UP) annually grants fellowships to attract excellent young postdoctoral fellows to the University. These fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis while adequate funding is available. A postdoctoral fellow is regarded as a young researcher (generally up to 40 years of age), with a doctorate, who conducts research at a university in collaboration with a senior research mentor in order to develop his/her research capabilities. The UP Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme supports two categories of postdoctoral fellows: (1) A UP Postdoctoral Fellow is a recent doctoral graduate from UP or another university, (2) A Senior UP Postdoctoral Fellow is a doctoral graduate who has successfully completed a postdoctoral fellowship of at least two years and has authored publications as a postdoctoral fellow.  UP Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded for a period of up to three years. UP Postdoctoral Fellowships and UP Senior Postdoctoral Fellowships consist of a tax-free bursary in an amount that is determined from time to time by the Vice-Principal: Research and Postgraduate Education.  The amount may be supplemented from other sources of funding.  A UP Postdoctoral Fellowship may include a travel allowance made available to international fellows, for travel to and from the University of Pretoria at the commencement and termination of the fellowship period.  If funds are available, a once off grant, to be determined from time to time, may be awarded to postdoctoral fellows for conference presentations by the Fellow, during the multi-year support cycle.
