Internships

We invite to conduct research in the form of internships. Due to the nature of the research, we prefer internships from 2 weeks to 3 months. The research group provides access to research equipment and most of the reagents. We do not cover the costs of stay and travel, so we encourage you to apply under internship programs (e.g. Erasmus+). We are open to research topics suggestions. In order to apply, please contact przemyslaw.niedzielski@amu.edu.pl to agree on the details.
