Liber Ero Post-doctoral Fellowship Program
We are delighted to announce the second call for
post-doctoral applications for the Liber Ero
Fellowship Program. With funding from Canadian
donors, the newly formed Liber Ero Fellowship
Program supports exceptional post-doctoral
fellows who address pressing conservation
challenges of relevance to Canada. The Program
aims to develop the next generation of
conservation scientists, trained in the latest
methods and in the skills necessary to affect
policy and improve conservation of Canadas wild places and natural resources.
The Liber Ero Fellowship is open to candidates
from any country whose research furthers
conservation goals within Canada. Fellows must be
hosted at a Canadian institution, with mentorship
teams drawing from expertise in non-governmental
organizations, government, and universities.
Applications are now being accepted, with a
deadline of November 1, 2013. See http://liberero.ca/ for more details.
We are also pleased to announce the 2013 cohort of fellows:
Anja Carlsson. Monitoring and managing the
