Visiting Scholarship

Graduate students, post-doctoral candidates, or junior faculty members may apply to receive a Visiting Scholarship for study in Biomedical Informatics at Stanford University, lasting in duration from three months to one year. Funding includes travel funds from South Africa to the United States, a stipend to support living expenses and tuition.

The purpose of the Visiting Scholarship program is to allow scholars to conduct research, take classes in specialized subjects relevant to Biomedical Informatics, and/or develop new courses at UWC, in close collaboration with Stanford faculty. Junior faculty, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students with training in biology, medicine or computer science are encouraged to apply. Training in the cross-discipline is extremely helpful but not required.

The Scholarship will be awarded by competition. Applicants should submit a study plan, research proposal, or outline of course development, and letters of recommendation.

We are accepting applications now. Funding is limited.
