A variety of program mechanisms can be entered into. The Center offers a Summer Opportunities Employment program for students from the three campuses of the University of the West Indies and the University of Technology, in which they have the opportunity to work closely with scientific staff and gain invaluable experience. In special cases, students from elsewhere will also be considered.
Opportunities are also available for researchers on sabaticals or fellowships.
Jamaica presents a number of interesting situations and scientists and their students would be welcome to join ongoing programmes. Much of the work underway or proposed may be of particular interest to other developing countries where there are similar problems of environmental vulnerability associated with development, in support of which high-quality data are still sparse.
