Interested? We are always on the lookout for talented Bachelor's and Master's students to join the team.
Brooke directly supervises all undergraduates in the group, so we can only take 2-3 at a time.
Early contact is therefore recommended, as we are often oversubscribed...(sometimes >6 months in advance!)
E-mail Brooke (brooke.morriswood@uni-wuerzburg.de) to arrange a chat and discuss timings.
