Adjuncts
Expanding our expertise
Our reach extends far beyond the borders of the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 campus. For decades, we鈥檝e been welcoming other scholars to share their knowledge with our students. Whether they鈥檙e professors from other institutions or natural resource scientists, engaging these professionals allows us to collaborate in ways that benefit everyone.
Scholars are on our adjunct list for many reasons. Those with asterixis (**) are open to being approached by MES applicants for the purpose of discussing co-supervision. These individuals may not be able to offer funding support but conversations about shared interested are welcomed. As our adjuncts are not 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 professors, a SRES professor will have to also agree to co-supervision before an MES application can proceed.
Applicants may additionally want to see our cross-appointed list as these individuals can provide full supervision of an MES applicant.
