This is an annual opportunity for Sheffield-based undergraduates to undertake a six week research project over the Summer. Applications are developed collaboratively by the student and the supervisor.
The application deadline is usually towards the end of February.
Please get in touch if you would be interested in developing an application together.
Microorganisms influence each others' growth by changing their chemical environment: essential metabolites can be secreted and shared, resources can be competed over and toxins can be cooperatively broken down. In this fully-funded project, we will use picolitre microdroplets to monitor these interactions in thousands of different communities simultaneously. Coupling these measurements with ecological theory will allow us to understand the implications for chemically-mediated interactions for the structure and function of microbiomes.
UK students only
We are accepting applications from students with their own funding who would like to pursue a research programme in microbial ecology.
