Job openings, student topics
In case you see no open positions here:
I am always happy to help you prepare a project proposal for a shorter or longer stay. You are of course welcome to bring your own ideas, as long as they match the main interests of the lab.
Traineeship opportunities:
If you are looking for a summer traineeship to give our field of research a try before fully dedicating yourself to an own MSc topic, drop me an email. We regularly have activities where we are happy to host trainees!
BSc and MSc thesis opportunities:
I am continuously looking for enthusiastic students to join the lab who would later like to pursue a career in research. If you are looking for a BSc or MSc topic, drop me an email! However, if you are only looking for a quick thesis topic to tick a box and are not genuinely interested in scientific work, this lab might not be the right place for you.
PhD research opportunities
I supervise PhD students at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest. Application for a state scholarship is necessary for Hungarian students and students from the European Economic Area (see also Bilateral state scholarships), while other international students from several other countries are eligible for a Stipendium Hungaricum fellowship.
Deadline is usually the end of May in each year (but Stipendium and Bilateral scholarships have earlier country-specific deadlines around February).
The PhD topics are officially announced on doktori.hu. In case you do not find an open topic with me but you are exceptionally motivated and driven by a true excitement for ecology, feel free to contact me directly. I’m always eager to hear from such applicants.
