We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Cochrane South Africa, an intra-mural research unit at the SAMRC. The successful applicant will work on a project aimed at producing high-quality research evidence on immunisation issues and working with relevant decision makers to translate the evidence into policy and practice.

The value of the fellowship is R350,000 per annum, for two or three years depending on the availability of funds.
Requirements:
