Masters/PHD
Depending on the interests of the student, the focus will include genetics and genomics, light and electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and physiological techniques, which will deepen our understanding of the processes that take place during reptile reproduction and the evolution of pregnancy.
We also offer other opportunities to examine the reproductive biology of teleost fish, sharks and mammals, and welcome students with their own research proposals in areas related to our work. Please email Camilla for more information.
The ideal candidates will have a strong academic record and a graduate degree in Biology, Zoology, Physiology, Genetics/Genomics, or a related field.
