Interested to join our group as a student?

We supervise M.Sc, B.Sc theses, practicals, or lab rotations that fall into our research areas, Reproductive and Cellular Immunity, Evolutionary Biology, Lipid Biology, Cell Biology and Genetics. Please come by in person (e.g. Sprechstunde, office hours – see contact) and bring with you:

– what kind of topic you would like to do in our group (if you already have an idea). Ideally you have read at least one paper on the topic (see below) and are as specific as possible about what you would like to investigate. If you just want to be given a topic and work down the protocols for your thesis, then please choose a different lab, we focus on thinking, not technical protocols.
– a confirmation that you have passed all of your exams (this is important to us because we want you to focus on your thesis while you are in our group) not technical protocols.

3) Examples of previous BSc and MSc theses in our group:

• Can microbes affect the evolution of genitalia?
• Glycosylation in bedbug sperm
• Sex-specific variation in fitness under heat stress in Tribolium beetles
