Short-term Scholarships (3 months) Food Security Center offers research short-term scholarships in 2015
The Food Security Center (FSC) is a university center of excellence in development collaboration at the University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany. FSC is one of five excellence centers of the program “exceed – Higher Education Excellence in Development Cooperation”, which is supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with funds of the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany. FSC’s mission is to make effective and innovative scientific contributions in research, teaching, and policy advice to eradicate hunger and achieve food security in collaboration with partner research and education organizations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and national and international development and research organizations. Thematically, FSC’s activities deal with issues of sustainable food availability, food access, food use, and food utilization. More information is available from www.foodsecurity.de.
In 2015, FSC awards scholarships for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers for a period of 3 months. The Center wishes to attract outstanding PhD students and postdoctoral fellows pursuing a career in academia or development collaboration. The scholarships aim at increasing their previously gained scientific knowledge and skills relevant to food security related issues. Furthermore, FSC aims at establishing an active, long-lasting collaboration with the supported researchers and their home institutions through an interactive alumni-network.
FSC offers two categories of scholarships:
1. Sandwich scholarships for PhD students (3 months);
2. Research scholarships for visiting postdoctoral researchers (3 months)
In both categories, FSC scholarships will support researchers from developing countries to conduct their research either at the University of Hohenheim (South-North) or at a national or international research institute in a developing country, for instance one of the centers of the CGIAR (South-South). Furthermore, in both categories, FSC scholarships will support researchers from developed countries to conduct their research at a national or international research institute in a developing country (North-South).
The application deadline for all scholarship categories is July 6, 2015.
