Thesiger-Oman International Fellowships 2021: Eligibility & How To Apply

Filed in Fellowships, Scholarships by on October 7, 2021 • 0 Comments

The Fellowships offer two awards annually to post-doctoral researchers to advance geographical knowledge, involving fieldwork, in an arid or semi-arid environment.

Past recipients have studied grazing pressure in the Dhofar Mountains of Oman by tracking daily herd movements, explored Holocene environmental change in eastern Jordan, and used sedimentary ancient DNA to identify past environmental changes. Preference will be given to research in the Middle East and other areas visited by Sir Wilfred Thesiger. These awards were founded with the support of the late Sultan of Oman, Qaboos bin Said al-Said as a memorial to Thesiger.
