Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The real trap is reading « fully-funded » as if it meant a blanket, unrestricted funding package. In practice, the support is tied to the expedition: travel, meals, accommodation, expedition costs, and 15 USD per day, which is not the same as a free master’s budget. The right move is to make your ability to handle demanding fieldwork obvious in the letter: independence, discipline, research interest, and teamwork must be visible. Send a clean CV and a focused letter before November 23, 2026, and keep room for a possible interview in January or February 2027.
