Dear Friends of OWSD,

We are happy to inform you that OWSD has just opened the Calls for
Applications for our two fellowship programmes: the PhD Fellowship
programme and the Early Career Fellowships for women scientists. We
would like to ask your special assistance in helping OWSD to disseminate
the Calls for Applications for the two fellowship programmes.

OWSD PHD FELLOWSHIP

The PhD Fellowship is offered to women scientists from Science and
Technology Lagging Countries to undertake PhD research in the natural,
engineering and information technology sciences at a host institute in
another developing country in the South. Costs covered include travel to
the host country, tuition fees, board, accommodation and living
expenses, and a special allowance for travel to international
conferences. The programme is administered with funds generously
provided by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency
(Sida) and is offered in partnership with host institutes throughout the
developing world. More information about Science and Technology Lagging
Countries is at
https://owsd.net/sites/default/files/OWSD%20Eligible%20Countries%202017_2.pdf

Two types of fellowship are available:

* A FULL-TIME FELLOWSHIP (maximum 4 years funding), where the research
is undertaken entirely at a host institute in another developing country
in the South.

* A SANDWICH FELLOWSHIP, where the candidate must be a registered PhD
student in her home country and undertakes part of her studies at a host
institute in another developing country. The sandwich fellowship is
awarded for a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 research visits at the
host institute. OWSD particularly encourages candidates to consider the
sandwich option, which allows them to earn the PhD in their home country
while accessing specialist researchers and equipment abroad, at the host
institute.

The full Call for Applications is attached here in both English and
French, as well as a poster which can be printed and distributed at your
institutes, or sent digitally. All information regarding the fellowship,
including full eligibility and selection criteria, required application
materials, and the link to the application form, can be found on the
OWSD website at: https://owsd.net/career-development/phd-fellowship

Application materials are also available in French at:
https://owsd.net/bourses-de-doctorat

The deadline for applications for this fellowship is May 30, 2019.

Questions regarding the fellowship may be sent to fello...@owsd.net.


OWSD EARLY CAREER FELLOWSHIP

This Fellowship is a prestigious award of up to USD 50,000, generously
provided by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC),
and is offered to women scientists from eligible Science and Technology
Lagging Countries (STLCs) who have completed their PhDs in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics subjects within the last 10
years and are employed at an academic or scientific research institute
in one of the eligible countries. Early Career fellows are supported for
two years to continue their research at an international level while
based at their home institutes, to build up research groups that will
attract international visitors, and to link with industry.

For more information on the Eligible Countries - OWSD Early Career
Fellowship, please visit:

The fellowship provides funding for a wide range of expenses, including
equipment, consumables, research visits, exchanges and programmes,
teaching and assistance, information resources, product development and
linking with industry, outreach, communications and networking, and
other expenses. A full list of eligible expenses is available in the
attached Call for Applications. Fellows will also take part in two
training workshops on leadership and entrepreneurial skills.

projects, selection and how to apply are available at:
