JOB SUMMARY

The Academy will enroll early- and mid-career post-doctoral researchers from our networks across Asian LMICs to participate in bespoke workshops, have fully embedded mentorship from senior Wellcome Asia and Africa Programme scientists and grant writing experts to develop subsequent grant applications. They will have access to seed awards to generate preliminary data and collaborations that will support Wellcome applications. Our Academy goals are to empower Asian LMIC researchers to apply for Wellcome Discovery (and other) research awards, support local partners to develop their own research capacity, and grow a strong and engaged research community in the region.

The Discovery Research Academy Leader – Vietnam will deliver the Academy programme in close collaboration with two other Discovery Research Academy Leaders based in Indonesia (OUCRU-ID) and Thailand (MORU). The Academy Leader should be a PhD-holder wishing to diversify their skillset within a research support role.
