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
[ ] under 40 years old on 30 November 2026
[ ] recognised, significant achievements in STEM research (including emerging technologies), STEM education and dissemination, or international or regional cooperation in STEM
[ ] a nomination from an eligible body such as your university's head of department or dean, your government through its UNESCO National Commission, a UNESCO Chair or an international scientific union; self-nomination is not considered
[ ] an application written fully in English or French

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- Closes 30 November 2026, in 39 days.
- Aim to send it by 27 November 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

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
