Watch points

    Drawn from the published conditions, to be confirmed with the organiser.

Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « mandatory »: the driving licence is not a logistical detail, it determines whether you can follow the trials in the field. The real selection also depends on proof that you can use R and conduct surveys, so a CV with no concrete data or fieldwork example is weak. Since applications are handled through direct contact and no deadline is published, prepare a short message, attach a targeted CV, and clearly state your availability between March and August 2027.
