Dear Colleague,
I am searching for any possible fellowship to complete my study on Molecular phylogeny and systematic of Sphodristocarabus (Coleoptera; Carabidae; Carabini) species of Iran.
Several species and subspecies of this subgenus described from north of Iran but most of these described species or subspecies synomyzed or their taxonomic status changed, during the time, but the relationship between the species and subspecies of this subgenus in north of Iran, is still unclear.
For example: The subspecies esfandiarii Heinz, 1973, esperanzae Heinz, 1970 and morvani Morvan, 1976, first time placed under species adamsi Adams, 1817, but later Lassel (2001), put these subspecies under species bohemani Ménétriés, 1832.
So it is my pleasure if any body can suggest any possible fellowship to complete this study.
The proposed goal of your study is rather "narrow" and can easily be done without any fellowship. This is my impression on this proposal.
Currently more than 24 species and subspecies of this subgenus exist in Iran, in an area of 1200 km long.
All species or subspecies should be collect, also to clear their relationship and evolutionary history we should compare them with the species of Azerbaijan country .
Dr. Azadbakhsh, did you try searching for foreign research grants? Like in Pakistan, HEC funds for research work to be conducted in foreign, in the same way, explore options in your country and in other countries as well. Try exploring the universities that has your field of subject, and go into funding options.you might get something.
Good luck!
I'm interesting in a similar research also. But for other group.
The DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) offers grants to this kind of projects, usually for no more than 6 months in German Universities. There are several types of grants, so, you must look in the DAAD website for further information. The process is competitive and you must be in contact with a German professor in advance, which support and approves your project (a support letter is compulsory before to apply). If you do not have the support letter of acceptance by a German professor, your application will not be accepted.
Good luck!
If you are in a PhD program in your country, will be sometimes easier to be accepted, but you must write a project (which also should be approved by your "host" professor) and have good grades. Weak projects or those which are not possible to end in 6 months and low grades are some reasons of possible rejected applications.
