CLOSED CALL!! One position is available to work within the framework of the GAME Programme (Global Approach by Modular Experiments) - International Research and Student Training in Marine Ecology.
Open Opportunity for one student to join to the BioEcoFunc lab at INMAR-UCA and be part of the Gamme Programme, an international student training and research program based at GEOMAR | Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel, Germany. (Deadline December 1st 2023)
What is GAME? A good starting career for a young scientist
The GAME (Global Approach by Modular Experiments) project is an international student training and research program based at GEOMAR | Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel, Germany. This project was created in 2002 by Martin Wahl. During their project term, participants address a marine-ecological problem in simultaneous experiments at a number of coastal sites, which are distributed widely across the globe. Research is carried out by students working in bi-national pairs between a German participant and a local student of the hosting institute (see the GAME blog to know more about this experience from previous participants).
One position is available to join the BioEcoFunc_lab at the INMAR-UCA and be part of the GAME team in Cádiz. This year 2023 the investigation will be focused on the influence of artificial lighting at night (ALAN) on macroalgae. The first (project preparation) and final (analysis of the global datasets) months should take place at GEOMAR, Kiel.
KEY DATES: - Preparation course: March 2nd – 29th, 2024 (in Kiel, Germany)***. - Experimental phase: mid April to mid/end September 2024 (the hosting centre will be INMAR-UCA, in Cádiz, Spain, under the supervision of Drs. Ignacio Gestoso and Iván Franco Rodil) - Analysis course: October 4th to December 20th 2024 (in Kiel, Germany)***.
***Travel costs and stipend (600 €) for the stay in Germany are covered by the program.
