This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/twas-fapesp-postdoctoral-fellowship-2026
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] a permanent resident and native of a developing country, and not already living in Brazil or a developed country
[ ] a doctorate or equivalent degree in natural, applied or social sciences, awarded within the last 7 years

2. WHAT TO GET READY
An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.
In their words: "Application through the TWAS online system; host acceptance arranged with a FAPESP-eligible institution"

3. DATES
- Closes 1 April 2027, in 161 days.
- On the date, the listing says: midnight BRT, Brasilia time
- Aim to send it by 29 March 2027. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

4. WHAT IT COSTS YOU
- Candidates must not hold a residence visa for Brazil or a developed country at the time of application.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
