Help develop an institution worth building.
SIT is recruiting its founding faculty, research staff, and operational team. If you’ve ever wished you could shape an institution from the inside out, this is the moment and Ghana is the place.
Faculty model – A hybrid faculty, by design.
SIT’s faculty is structured to combine the rigor of a research university with the relevance of an industry lab. Three streams, one institution.
Core Academic Faculty
Full-time professors and lecturers responsible for teaching, advising, and running research groups. Standard tenure-track and teaching-track paths apply.
Industry Practitioners
Working scientists, engineers, and operators teaching the courses where their experience is irreplaceable often on a part-time or rotational basis.
Visiting Global Scientists
Short residencies — weeks to a year — for researchers from partner universities and biotech firms. A natural pipeline for joint research and student exchange. Talent acquisition
A continental — and diasporic — recruiting strategy.
SIT recruits globally, with deliberate emphasis on the African scientific diaspora — researchers whose expertise was built abroad and who are looking for a meaningful way to come home, full-time or part-time.
We design our roles to make that move feasible: competitive compensation, generous research start-up packages, modern equipment, and flexible affiliation structures that allow continued collaboration with overseas institutions.
- Competitive base compensation, benchmarked against peer institutions
- Research start-up packages and shared core-facility access
- Joint-appointment structures with partner universities
- Family relocation support and on-campus housing
