DAAD Doctoral Scholarship For Scholars From Sub-Sahara Africa

Introduction.

The Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) has announced that it is offering two doctoral scholarships in 2021 for students from Sub-Sahara Africa. That’s not all. The scholarship program will add two more spots for outstanding students in 2022.

If you live in Sub-Sahara Africa and meet the required criteria, you should make sure to apply as soon as possible because the scholarship program is granted by the DAAD organization and funded by the Graduate School Scholarship Program (GSSP).

We want to mention that the scholarship positions offered by the DAAD Doctoral Scholarship 2021 are awarded to the interdisciplinary research topic of “Adaptation of marine socio-ecological systems to changing environments”.

Therefore, successful applicants will get the chance to work in the following departments: Biogeochemistry and Geology, Ecology, Theoretical Ecology and Modeling, and Social Sciences.
