The International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) is calling for interested applicants to apply Bioinformatics Masters degree fellowships, offered under the Eastern Africa Network for Bioinformatics Training (EANBiT) initiative
ICIPE will make available 12 MSc fellowships at Pwani University, Kenya, and Makerere University, Uganda, for the 2019-2020 academic year for a maximum of two years of the study period, that includes both course work and the thesis work.
