Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a PhD in a relevant field and demonstrate strong academic merit and research output over the last three years. Preferred candidates should have either two ISI Web of Science journal papers in Q1/Q2 journals, with at least one as first author, or one patent. The KPI for the appointment is to produce two first-author ISI Web of Science Q1/Q2 publications.

Funding and benefits: the fellowship offers a monthly salary/honorarium of RM 5,500, access to medical facilities within the university, mentorship and collaboration opportunities, prospects for publishing in reputable journals, and 14 days of annual leave.
