He can fund 3 or more PhD or MSc students at the moment (i.e. free housing, healthcare, flight and 25-30k USD stipend per year). The internships are also fully funded, last from 1-6 months (ideally 3-6 months) and come with free flight, accommodation, and a stipend of 1200 USD/month. This would be good for students who are not sure if they really want to stay in Saudi for years, or for students looking for summer opportunities. Contact Rob directly in the first instance (robert.hoehndorf@kaust.edu.sa). http://www.kaust.edu.sa/application-form-kaust.html
