2016 Call for applications for the OWSD Postgraduate Fellowships

25 Feb 2016

Each year OWSD offers talented women scientists from developing countries the opportunity to study for a PhD in a science subject at an excellent research institute in a developing country.

Candidates can choose between the full-time option (3 years) at a host institute (not in their home country), or the sandwich (part-time) option which allows them to enroll for a PhD in their home country and undertake a research visit of at least 6 months in a laboratory or institute abroad.

Funds are available for the period the student is at the host institute only. Costs covered can include travel to the host country, tuition fees, board, accommodation and living expenses.

Deadline for submission of applications is 31 May 2016.
