They are tenable at the University of the Philippines Los Baños or any of these three Thai universities: Chiang Mai University, Kasetsart University, and Khon Kaen University.

Applicants must be teaching/research staff of universities or technical/field personnel at government agencies, or non-governmental organizations. Women are particularly encouraged to apply.
