Opportunities

Current student (BIO299/ Masters) opportunities

Are you interested in plant-environment interactions? Chemical defence mechanisms in plants? Fieldwork in mountain environments or in greenhouse settings? In developing new tools to understand patterns of past environmental changes? We have multiple potential projects available at Bachelors/ Masters level at UiB

  • Testing the effects of UV-B radiation on plant-pollen chemistry under controlled conditions
  • Using UV-B screens on plants in the field and testing the pollen-chemistry response
  • Reconstructing chemical variations from sediment cores in fossil sequences

Contact alistair.seddon@uib.no for further details.

Postdoc/ PhD/ Masters research in PalaeoChem

Contact alistair.seddon@uib.no to discuss potential Masters, PhD or postdoctoral projects in more detail. Members work closely with each other through weekly group and 360º feedback sessions, with hands-on supervision and peer support. We aim for all members to gain the technical, collaborative and soft-skills required to be a successful independent scientist.

We aim to provide an inclusive and welcoming community for all lab members and are always interested in developing or collaborating on new research projects.
