It provides a generous stipend, accommodation on campus, an opportunity to bring a spouse or family, and transportation expenses for candidates who wish to devote a year to teaching undergraduates in Africa, with opportunities for research and scholarship. Teaching may be in a specific course in the discipline, depending on course requirement need, or it may be a course the candidate chooses to create to provide depth in student learning outcome of the discipline.
Campus: Our modern campus situated in hills above Accra, comprised of labs, classrooms, workspaces, and housing sit on 100 beautifully landscaped acres, about 25 km outside of Accra, Ghana’s capital. Ghana is a friendly and stable English-speaking democracy, with a population that highly values education.
Students: Our 1,000 students are passionately committed to creating a better future for their home continent. They are selected from across Africa, with diverse religious, ethnic, national, and economic backgrounds. Around half are women, and about half receive financial aid.
For PHD or higher, the fellowship award is up to $75k, and for someone just completing their masters, the fellowship award is up to $50k.

They seek recent masters and doctoral graduates in electronic and electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering, and computer science (including information systems), as well as emeritus professors and faculty on sabbatical. Applicants should have an affinity for Ashesi’s instructional model, which combines seminars, labs, and hands-on projects that address complex, real-world problems.
Expectations: The candidate will be expected to teach a minimum of 3 courses during the fellowship year, which can be of varying combinations across the year, e.g., 1 in the fall and 2 in the spring, vice versa, or 1 in fall, spring, and summer. The course “discussions and lab” release may be dedicated to the candidate’s research or research collaboration with faculty. The candidate is expected to spend a minimum of 40 hours a week on teaching, scholarship, innovation, and research, of hours cumulated on and off campus.
