1. The University of KwaZulu Natal (UKZN) prides itself in its postdoctoral-fellows’ community
who are engaged in a range of cutting edge and socially relevant research projects, making them
key partners in realising the University`s vision to become the Premier University of African
Scholarship. The UKZN has the second highest postdoc population in the country (South
Africa), with a robust community of 276 postdocs across the four colleges. These postdocs
contribute in diverse ways to the research enterprise, the highest numbers of postdocs are
currently based at the CAES, tend to be predominantly male, and are mostly internationals who
hail from the rest of the African continent, India, Europe and North America. UKZN is
committed to growing its postdoc scholars and ensure that they have the necessary support when
they choose to pursue their postdocs at UKZN. The University trusts that its postdoc scholars`
experience of being a postdoc research fellow at UKZN will be a positive catalyst towards an
enriching research careers.
It is my dream that one day the same could be said of my beautiful Solusi University.
