We would like to let you know that applications are open for the next Nippon Foundation-POGO Centre of Excellence (NF-POGO CofE) at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) on the islands of Helgoland and Sylt. The course is open to 10 participants. Trainees must have at least a first degree in science. Preference will be given to applicants who currently hold a position in a research or academic institution in a developing country and anticipate returning to the country after completion of training at the NF-POGO Centre of Excellence at AWI. The 10-month training will promote excellence in integrated, multidisciplinary oceanography at a global scale by emphasizing core skills (e.g. writing, scientific presentations, statistics and experimental design) and specialised scientific topics such as modelling, remote sensing, ocean-atmosphere interactions.
Your application should be submitted by 1 March 2019. Applicants will be notified if they have been selected by end of May 2019. Scholarships will be provided from NF-POGO through the CofE that cover travel, room, board, tuition, and a modest allowance for those students accepted into the programme.
