Ecology of Endangered Species and their Conservation in Viet Nam
This project is part of an overall agreement with the Forest Science Institute of Viet Nam (FSIV) to support FSIV through PhD and post-doc research projects.
The Post-doc project will be complementary to the PhD project on Forest Land Allocation and Biodiversity and will start once the formulation of the PhD research proposal has been finalized (the PhD proposal will be completed during a three months stay in Utrecht).
The post-doc project will strongly contribute to the institutional strengthening of FSIV. It will be formulated in view of future research lines of FSIV. In addition, the research will be policy oriented and is intended to become a trigger to the establishment of a policy oriented research group within FSIV.
