STERG currently has no Postdoctoral Research Fellowship openings.

STERG has a need for volunteers in a number of areas. Volunteers will be recognized as associate members of the research group (unless already members by other means)

• Maintenance of the web site and other IT related matters
• Help with editing and writing documents
• Assistance with the SASEC conference – South Africa’s first dedicated domestic solar conference
• and many others…

STERG offers internships for conducting small research projects. This includes the opportunity for foreign students to conduct final year projects or Masters projects with the research group. Co-supervision from STERG would need to be approved.

We typically seek interns in all fields relevant to our research, in particular

• Solar optics
• Central receiver
• Thermal storage.

Projects can vary from theoretical and computer modeling to experimental work. We advise making contact at least three months prior to the envisaged internship date to allow for identifying a potential host and topic as well providing sufficient time for visa application (if needed).
