The New Generation of Academics Programme (nGAP)

"Revitalising and Transforming the Academic Profession"

The Department of Higher Education and Training is implementing a programme titled the "New Generation of Academics Programme (nGAP)" that:

enables you to immediately take up a permanent lecturer position, and earn a full lecturer salary as you study;

enables you to study for a master's or doctorate, or to undertake post-doctoral work with substantially reduced teaching responsibilities while studying;

enables you to develop your teaching and research ability; ensures that you are fully supported by a mentor for the duration of your participation in

the development programme; and provides support for an international mobility experience.

The nGAP aims to assist with staffing transformation and capacity needs at universities, and involves the establishment of permanent academic posts. Successful candidates will participate in a 6-year comprehensive development and induction programme, after which they will continue as regular members of the academic staff.

To be eligible for selection for an nGAP post, applicants must meet the following criteria, in addition to meeting the criteria specified by the university:

show interest in becoming an academic be 40 years or younger show evidence of eligibility to undertake postgraduate study at doctoral level if you do not

have a Doctoral degree (PhD) be willing to commit to placement at the appointing university for the full 6 years of the

programme.

At least 80% of the positions will be allocated to black and/or women South African citizens. You may apply for more than one post at more than one institution.

Full details of the posts at each university are or will be available on the university's website. To apply, visit the website or contact the institution of your choice and follow the instructions described in the adverts. DHET will also post an advertisement of all these posts in the Mail and Guardian and Sunday Times newspapers in April or May 2019.
