“The aim is to prepare outstanding junior Qatari scholars for future university teaching and research careers. By growing post-doctoral opportunities, GU-Q will also be supporting research that is relevant to Qatar’s development goals.”
The programme is open to Qatari nationals with a PhD or DPhil in the humanities or social sciences, who received their degree after January 1, 2015, or who will pass their dissertation defence prior to January 1, 2020, and graduate before June 1, 2020.
