The Global Mammal Assessment is a lively and international research environment, and we hosted students and researchers at all levels from all over the world.
We are happy to develop research projects together with students and early career researchers (from post-graduate to post-doc) on topics related to the research themes developed in the lab (more details here).
Interested candidates should please send an email to the GMA lab, including a brief letter of interest, a brief CV, a list of publications with their impact factor and quartile, and technical skills all together in one single pdf file.
