education & training
The CEBA conducts a collaborative effort to foster education and training programs in French Guiana, within the Université de Guyane. It offers the opportunity to network several Masters programs in the fields of evolutionary ecology, tropical forest ecology and plant biodiversity.
CEBA opens annual calls for doctoral research grants.
CEBA offers post-doctoral positions for research associates supervised by CEBA members as part of the core research activities.
CEBA funds and organises thematic schools on important aspects of biodiversity in French Guiana.
As part of these actions, the physical presence of the students or research associates in French Guiana is strongly encouraged.
