PhD Scholarships: RUFORUM Secretariat is pleased to announce that a few scholarships for PhD Plant Breeding and Biotechnology programme are available through DAAD in region programme support (CALL ID: PBB/DAAD/PHD/14).
The scholarships are tenable for 2014/15 academic year at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda. DAAD promotes international academic exchange as well as educational cooperation with developing countries through various funding and scholarship programmes. The aim of the in-region programme is to support RUFORUM¹s regional training programmes.
The PhD training at Makerere University starts in September 2014, and therefore, only candidates available to start the PhD training this September need to apply.
Applications are invited from qualified candidates (must be MSc holders in the relevant disciplines) from outside Uganda, but from Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. Academic staff members from Universities and women are especially encouraged to apply.
Please note that males should not be more than 35 years old, and women, 40 at the time of application. Candidates must apply for both scholarships from RUFORUM Secretariat and PhD admission from Makerere University. Candidates who have applied for PhD admission to Makerere University under the Intra ACP Academic Programme (Training Crop Scientists for Africa) need not apply again as we shall use their existing documents for consideration of their applications. However, they need to apply online for the PhD scholarships.
