The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Ghana invites qualified researchers and academics to supervise student research projects for the upcoming research phases of our Master’s programs.

1. MSc in Mathematical Sciences for Teachers (MMST) – Cohort 2024–2026

The MMST students will undertake their part-time research phase from late February to early June 2026. We are seeking supervisors to guide them through this critical stage of their academic journey.

Projects must include substantial mathematical content. Topics in mathematics education are welcome, provided they incorporate mathematics or statistics at the Master’s level.

Supervisors must hold a PhD and be qualified to supervise Master’s or PhD students in their home institutions. Most supervision will take place online.

If you would like to propose a research topic, please complete the MMST Topics Google Form  by 5 December 2025.

2. MSc in Mathematical Sciences (Regular Program) – Cohort 2025–2026

Students in the regular MSc program will embark on their full-time research phase from early April to early June 2026. We welcome research supervisors to support their short but intensive research experience.

Projects should be designed at the Master’s level in mathematical sciences and must involve sufficiently advanced mathematics. Supervisors should hold a PhD and be qualified to supervise postgraduate students in their home country. As with the MMST program, most supervision will occur online.

Interested supervisors are invited to submit project proposals via the Regular MSc Topics Google Form by  5 February 2026.

Join us in mentoring the next generation of African mathematical scientists and educators. Your guidance can help shape the future of STEM education and research across the continent.
