FULL SCHOLARSHIP AVAILABLE

VIEW ADVERT The Doctoral Research Programme in West African Climate Systems (DRP-WACS) of the West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL) hosted at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Nigeria, seeks to admit the fifth batch of students for the PhD programme in the field of West African Climate Systems and its applications.

The main goal of the programme is to build capacity in climate science, applications and risk management aimed at solving climate-related socio-economic challenges in Africa. The programme is geared towards producing professional personnel equipped with the research and technological skills to manage climate related issues in priority areas such as health, water, energy, agriculture (food security) and disaster risk reduction. The PhD programme is thus primed to bridge the skills gaps by providing transformative climate management solutions to atmospheric, agriculture, water resources, health, coastal, urban issues, environmental and other socio-economic problems occasioned by the interplay of extreme weather and climate.

Applications are invited from holders of Msc in Meteorology, Climate Science, Climatology, Geography, Physics, Computer Science, Agriculture, Hydrology, Mathematics or any other related discipline in the 11-member WASCAL Countries (Nigeria, Senegal, The Gambia, Cote d’Ivoire, Republic of Benin, Togo, Ghana, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde and Mali).
