The project „DecLaRe“ is seeking to employ nine West African PhD candidates for four years.

DecLaRe aims to identify recommendation domains for scalable innovations towards sustainable crop production and animal husbandry in West Africa, focusing on northern Benin and Ghana. The PhD candidates will be affiliated to one of the three West African DecLaRe partners – University for Development Studies (UDS, Ghana), University of Parakou (UP, Benin), and the West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL, Burkina Faso) – and will be supervised by a tandem of West African and German faculty. The partner universities in Germany (University of Kassel, University of Göttingen, University of Hohenheim, PIK) will provide candidates with the opportunity to pursue a PhD degree.

The submission of applications is possible until June 28th, 2022.
