Newsletter — April 2001

Organization	International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE)
Award	Three-year doctoral training fellowship starting in July 2001
Topic of Study	Distribution patterns, gene flow and dispersal capabilities of anopheline mosquito populations at three different ecological sites along the Kenya coast.
Summary of Project	The malaria vectorial system along the Kenyan coast comprises Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto, An. arabiensis, An. merus, and An. funestus. It is of interest to know if they differ in their dispersal, vectorial capacity, and other bionomic factors of epidemiological importance.
Eligibility	Applicants must be nationals of African countries and must have the following qualifications: B.Sc. in a biological science, with minimum upper second class or equivalent; M.Sc. with coursework and thesis research preferably on malaria vectors; relevant research experience (university and medical research institution staff eligible for study leave are preferred); maximum age of 34 years; and eligibility for registration at an accredited university.
Application	Send by post or fax (a) letter declaring interest in the fellowship and stating how the project relates to current work, (b) current CV, (c) copies of degree certificates, (d) transcripts of degree courses taken, (e) recommendation letters from three referees, (f) letter certifying eligibility for registration by a relevant university department, and (g) letter of nomination for training by the employer. ICIPE will offer mainly research training, and candidates must have completed the coursework requirements (if any) of the chosen university
