PhD and Junior Scientist Scholarships in International Agricultural Research (Germany–CGIAR++ Hub) Germany–CGIAR++ Science and Impact Hub in

The Germany–CGIAR++ Science and Impact Hub offers fully funded PhD and Junior Scientist scholarships for early-career researchers in international agricultural research. The program connects German universities with global CGIAR++ centers, focusing on development-oriented research aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climate objectives. PhD scholars receive a €1,800 monthly stipend for three years (with a possible 12-month extension) and a €25,000 research grant, while Junior Scientists receive €1,000 per month for six months. Both tracks provide opportunities for international fieldwork, joint supervision, and interdisciplinary training.

The Hub is hosted at the CIFOR-ICRAF office in Bonn and is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and GIZ. Applicants should be early-career scientists interested in impactful agricultural research.

The application process involves downloading templates and instructions from the official website and submitting materials via the online portal before the deadline. The program aims to build capacity, foster international collaboration, and empower the next generation of researchers in sustainable agriculture.
