Opportunities from UNAM Dirección General de Asuntos del Personal Académico (DGAPA)

UNAM's 2026 POSDOC programme strengthens research and advanced human-capital development by supporting recently graduated doctorate holders to undertake novel research projects at UNAM. This record is specifically for new Period II fellowships through faculties and schools, with stays starting in March 2027. Candidates first approach a host academic entity; the entity sets its own candidate deadline and submits the formal nomination to DGAPA.

Candidates must hold a doctorate awarded within the five years preceding the fellowship start, demonstrate relevant research productivity, develop the proposed project with an eligible UNAM host/adviser, and satisfy the current POSDOC rules. A fellow may not hold a UNAM employment contract during the fellowship. The host faculty or school must formally nominate the candidate.
