Biological Invasions 

Bursaries available for 2012 

2 x Hons; 3 x MSc; 1 x PhD; 1 x Post-doc 

Several bursaries are available to conduct research on various aspects
of managing new invasions as part of the Working for Water / South
African National Biodiversity Institute Early Detection and Rapid
Response Programme. 

A range of projects are available potentially involving molecular
phylogenetics, GIS mapping, taxonomy, population modelling, social
science, history, mathematical ecology, and evolutionary biology.
Submitted topics in line with EDRR's goals will also be considered. 

Requirements: Candidates must be pro-active, enthusiastic, and
interested in doing excellent research that can make a difference. 

Bursary Values (to cover living expenses and university fees) 

                Honours/4th year undergraduate R 30, 000 p.a. for 1 year

                Masters R 60,000 p.a. for 2 years

Project running expenses will be covered separately and will vary

Student bursaries are open to all South African citizens, and
post-doctoral research bursaries are open to anyone who has completed
their PhD in the last five years. Honours students will also need to
apply separately to a university honours programme. 

Application procedure: Each application is to be accompanied by a

post-docs a two-page project outline. Send all documents to 
students at sanbi.org.za with "EDRR studentships" in the subject line.
Applications close 4 November 2011, and successful candidates will be
notified by mid November.
