Ref – HAST PhD INTERNS 06/2015
Category – HIV,AIDS,STIs and TB (HAST)
Closing Date – 24 June 2015

The HIV, AIDS, STIs and TB (HAST) programme within the HSRC employs a multi-disciplinary group of social scientists and public health specialists who conduct numerous empirical and policy-related studies each year, many of which are donor-funded.

The HAST research programme specialises in research on the social determinants of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections and tuberculosis. The research strives to address these health problems at their source, namely, at both the social and population levels. It also includes social aspects of delivery models for biomedical interventions in order to optimise delivery of interventions.

The HAST research programme has offices in Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Pietermaritzburg and Port Elizabeth. (1 based in Cape Town and 1 based in Pretoria)

Two PhD Research Internships are currently available either in the social sciences and humanities or public health and preferably working in a cognate area to HAST’s mandate. The PhD Research Internship Programme in the HSRC is meant to provide the successful candidates with an opportunity to further develop their research expertise by working with subject experts and project specialists. The research traineeship experience is intensive and seeks mature individuals who are able to work independently as well as in a team. While appointees will be exposed to a wide variety of project-related research, they will be expected to complete their thesis within three years. Time is set aside for this purpose.
