Research for Development
World Research Union empowers researchers worldwide through Postdoctoral Fellowships, collaborative grants, funded research programmes, and institutional partnerships. Your next breakthrough starts here.
If you applied, scroll down to see if your name is on the Round 1 shortlist. Appointment Letters will be issued by May 2026.
The WRU Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme (PDF) is a prestigious research opportunity offered in collaboration with globally recognised universities. Fellows conduct advanced research, submit thesis, publish, and present at indexed conferences — all under the WRU guidance.
Conduct research under a recognised Malaysian university host — Jesselton University College (JUC).
Receive guidance to implement your research rather just publishing and shelving it in library.
Present research at WRU-organised IEEE and AIP approved international conferences.
Get a dedicated WRU researcher page — shareable on LinkedIn, CVs, and academic profiles.
Participation in the WRU Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme is exclusively available to WRU Members. All shortlisted candidates must hold an active WRU membership before the Appointment Letter is issued. Membership is free of charge — register at members.wrunion.org if you have not done so yet. Round 2 shortlisted candidates will be announced by June 2026.
