The Generation
Challenge Programme is pleased to announce that the deadline
for submission of applications for the 2008 Fellowship Programme
has been extended to 29th February 2008 for the six following
themes:
- Data analysis of a network
of field trials involving a population of recombinant inbred
lines: dissecting the genotype x environment interaction
- Studying the influence of
genetic correlations between environments on the power to
detect QTLs and QTLxE
- The use of relatedness
information in linkage disequilibrium mapping: pedigree
information versus molecular marker information
- Marker-based estimation of
coancestry measures in genebank collections
- Estimation of genetic
parameters in autotetraploids
- Data mining approach to
assessing biotic constraints.
Applications are invited
from developing country crop science researchers working in
developing country research institutions wishing to broaden
their skills by conducting research outside their home
countries/institutions. Priority will be given to scientists
already involved in
GCP research projects.
Duration and scope:
Minimum of four months and a maximum of one year. Research
proposals must be based on one of GCP’s four thematic
Subprogrammes (1-4)
Eligibility: Minimum MSc, or equivalent, in a
relevant subject area for the call
