    I have a MSC in Pest Management from the University of London and I would like to do my phD in chemical and molecular ecology in order to have a clear understanding of insect pests/plant/natural enemies interactions. I am therefore searching for a scholarship in that area of research. Can you please help me? Thanks in advance.
