DIDA PhD Fellowships
Aim and Benefits of DIDA PhD Fellowships
- Scholarship is fully funded
Requirements for DIDA PhD Fellowships Qualification
- Applicants must be nationals of an African country and be suitably qualified to enter a PhD program at the host University.
- We expect that successful applicants will have a track-record of academic excellence, with a first class or upper second class (or equivalent) undergraduate degree and a relevant Masters degree (or clinical qualification).
- Applicants who do not have these qualifications but believe that they have equivalent relevant research or industrial experience should explain this clearly in their letter of motivation. For some projects additional eligibility criteria apply

Interview date, Process and Venue for DIDA PhD Fellowships
Selection Process:
- Shortlisting. We will use the Curriculum Vitae and Letters of Motivation to shortlist applicants who can demonstrate that they have outstanding academic potential, and are scientifically curious, highlymotivated, hard-working, professional, and excellent team players, with a strong interest in thepotential of digital diagnostics technologies. We expect PhD fellows to demonstrate that they haveknowledge, skills and some experience relevant to the project(s) they wish to undertake, or that theycould easily gain relevant knowledge and skills.
- Interviews. Interviews will be conducted on-line. We will send further details to the candidates
shortlisted for interview. We will require proof of identity, proof of qualifications, and any other
relevant documentation to be presented at the interview. Interviews will be conducted by a diverse
and gender balanced panel from within the network, including representatives from host institutions.
We will try to offer flexibility in interview dates and times, but due to the number of applications and
posts we may not be able to accommodate some requests.
- Although eligibility varies by project, our selection panel will aim to ensure our cohort of fellows is
diverse, and we will strive to ensure gender balance and representation of students from countries
with fewer opportunities for PhD funding, whilst also ensuring all fellows meet our rigorous selection
criteria.
- After interview. Successful applicants will receive provisional confirmation of our intention to award
them PhD Fellowship funding. This does not mean that they have been accepted onto the PhD
programme at the relevant University. Applicants must also apply and be accepted to study at the
University where the Fellowship will be held (see Table 1) before funding can commence.
