Immana Fellowships
The IMMANA Fellowships aim to create a cadre of emerging leaders in agriculture, nutrition and health research. In each annual round, IMMANA will award six 12-month post-doctoral Fellowships to emerging leaders who are applying and/or validating new methodological approaches with mentors in ongoing research programmes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Fellows conduct their research in Africa or Asia under the joint supervision of two mentors, one from the applicant’s current or previous employer or academic institution, and one from a host institution where the applicant proposes to advance their work.

Application Steps
Eligible candidates will have completed a doctoral degree (PhD, DPhil, DPH, MD, DVM or similar
terminal degree) in any field related to agriculture, nutrition or health research and practice, and be
actively engaged in research, education, and engagement at the intersection of two or more of
these fields. We are particularly interested in applicants who aim to build careers or already have
institutional affiliations in a research institute or university in Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia, but
applicants may be of any nationality and have earned their doctorate anywhere. During their
Fellowship year, successful candidates will complete and submit for publication at least one potentially
high-impact research finding, which they will also communicate through scientific groups including the
Agriculture, Nutrition and Health Academy. IMMANA Fellows are expected to play an active role in the
ANH Academy, bringing diverse perspectives to leadership across disciplinary and institutional
boundaries. The IMMANA programme aims for equal representation of women and men with a wide
range of expertise, and we particularly welcome applications from citizens of LMIC countries.
