Fellowship Programmes

From the beginning of February to the end of May every year, the Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study hosts a group of exceptional creative writers and scholars from different disciplines as Writing Fellows. Each Writing Fellow focuses on her/his individual project while benefiting from interacting with other Writing Fellows and from the community of scholars and writers from the universities in Johannesburg and Gauteng in general.

The JIAS Postdoctoral Fellowships are available for exceptional young scholars who have just completed their doctoral degree programmes.

Visiting Fellowships are open to scholars, creative writers and artists who require the tranquility and excellent facilities at JIAS on a short-term basis.
