Introduction
The World Agroforestry Centre is committed in developing a diverse and strong pool of research scientists, both for strengthening its own institute and for the increasing needs of the developing world.
The first round of the Women’s Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Programme which attracted five female scientists in various fields of research study came to a close in the 1st quarter of this year (2011).
In an effort to further the balance of Gender Diversity among the scientists, the World Agroforestry Centre is announcing the second round of the Women’s Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Programme.
Scope of the Programme

Women Fellows under the programme may propose various arrangements to be engaged with the World Agroforestry Centre including secondment from their current institutes, job-sharing, regular employment contract at our headquarters or regular contract at one of our six regional centres.
