The Global Health PhD Fellowship programme presents an opportunity for its recipients to add value
to their PhD experience by enabling them to be part of the processes of policy analysis and
translation within the UN global health context. The Fellowship aims to provide hands-on experience
in carrying out a research project outside the realm of academia.
Successful candidates will be assigned a project under the mentorship of a UNU-IIGH researcher. The
Fellowship is between six to twelve months. During this time, PhD Fellows are expected to engage in
the activities of the Institute actively. The PhD Fellowship will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
