Supporting African Science and Tertiary Education (SASTE) Grant for Post-doctoral Scientists


  • Applicants originating from a certain group of countries of Sub Sahara Africa are preferred in the candidate ranking (see call document below). The successful applicant is embedded in a long-term research setting at a Sub-Sahara African university or research institution (= home institution).

    Who is eligible to apply?

  • Post-doctoral scientists (< 42 years old, women < 45 in case of child care) working in one of the fields of the above listed topics of the call.

  • Applicants hold a research position in Africa (which ensures the continuation of the work at the home institution after the research stay in Austria) and have research experience in the field of the proposed research.

  • PhD earned from outside Austria is desirable but not obligatory. If PhD earned and application for research stay concern the same university or department in Austria, great importance will be attached to the novel aspect of the research project.

  • A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 7 years of post-doctoral work experience within a University or higher research organization located in Sub-Sahara Africa.
