Become a peer reviewer

We are recruiting active scientists on a rolling basis to join our College of Experts as peer reviewers.

Who can apply? 

We are looking for mid/senior-level researchers with approximately 5 -10 years postdoctoral research experience relevant to Africa’s human health challenges.

We seek to attract excellent scientists from all disciplines relevant to achieving better human health: from bench or desk, to bedside, to communities and populations.

We are especially keen to recruit African scientists working in the Sub-Sahara region or overseas, who have a demonstrable track record of research, including in project leadership, researcher supervision, mentorship and international collaboration.

Commitment to bringing on a new generation of potential research leaders in Africa is essential.

Roles

The primary role of members of the College of Experts is to advise on the quality of applications for our Research Development Fellowships and to provide constructive feedback for the applicants.

On our Peer Review Process page, there is more information on how we assess these applications and our core principles.

From time to time we will also ask members to help select applicants to attend our training courses and offer interested members the chance to participate as a mentor and facilitator in one of our programmes.

AREF is committed to a College of Experts that is well-balanced in terms of gender, diversity of research disciplines and nationality. We especially welcome applications from francophone and lusophone regions, however, members need to be proficient in English.

If you would like to apply please do the following:

  • Find out more information in our briefing document
  • Complete an application form and save using the following format for the file name: surname_givenname_AREF_CoE.
  • Prepare a short research CV and save it in the format surname_givenname_CV
  • Send the two documents as PDFs to [email protected]

Applications are reviewed by an expert panel to ensure new members meet the membership criteria.
