Carnegie Early Career Research Leader Fellowship (ECRLF). January 2019 – December 2020.
The Early Career Research Leader Fellowship was an initiative of the University of Pretoria’s Future Africa Institute, funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. It served early career research leaders in basic and applied sciences, engineering, social sciences, the humanities, and the arts. It aimed to grow African academics in their thought leadership, team development, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration with an intention to stimulate the emergence of centers of research excellence to solve complex problems that face Africa and the world.
