Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Translational Health Sciences at University of Rwanda (Deadline: 24 October, 2025)
I. BackgroundThe University of Rwanda-College of Medicine and Health Sciences (UR-CMHS), with financial support from the “Team Europe Initiative on Manufacturing and Access to Vaccines, Medicines, and Health Technologies (TEI MAV+) ’ aim to increased skilled workforce for vaccine and drug research and development in Rwanda. This initiative is strategic to Rwanda Vision 2030 as Centre of Biomedical Research & Bio-pharmaceutical companies. The recent African Union (AU) decision to have Rwanda host the African Medicines Agency (AMA), and the African Bio-manufacturing
Institute (ABI) serves as a key opportunity to fast-track the development of Bio-pharma
manufacturing capacity for Rwanda and Africa at large.
The overall objective of TEI MAV+ is to contribute to an increased skilled workforce for vaccine,diagnostic and drug research and development (R&D) in Rwanda. It also re-enforces the recent 4×4 health workforce reform approved by the GoR in July 2023, which aims to increase the number of skilled health workforce in the country.
