At the moment we are running or planning various projects in which you can get involved as a bachelor student or master student. For further information see my research.
1) Does the birth season induce differences in behaviour, morphology and reproduction ?
2) How do social influences during early development shape behaviour, physiology and the brain ?
3) How do parents and offspring interact and influence each other - mechanisms, consequences and heritable basis of parent-offspring coevolution ?
Practical work can involve behavioural observations and behavioural tests, measurements on birds (reproduction, morphology, colouration), physiological measures (hormone levels), genetics, and (in collaboration with Prof. Bischof) neuroanatomy
Currently there are no PhD or postdoctoral openings, but if you are interested or have own ideas for submitting a proposal, please contact me.
