ICCS Biodiversity Fellowship Eligibility

They are targeting people who they feel would particularly benefit from this scheme.
They particularly welcome applications from developing country nationals.
Biodiversity Fellowships are for people working outside of academia who feel that they would benefit from spending time working within the Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science at Oxford university.
If you are a senior member of staff, who would benefit from the opportunities offered by stepping away from your NGO, government, or business environment and commitments for a short period of time, to develop new strategic approaches, write up their ideas, or build partnerships, then this scheme may be right for you.
Alternatively, if you are at a relatively early stage in your career, and would benefit from the academic possibilities offered by the University of Oxford and the ICCS group you are also particularly welcome to apply.
Particularly if you would benefit from learning new skills, analysing and writing up your datasets, and building an international network.
