The DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1372 “Magnetoreception and Navigation of Vertebrates” at the University of Oldenburg offers two to three short-term fellowships per year for Master's degree holders and PhD candidates to excellent researchers who are interested in doing research within one dedicated project of the CRC.
These visiting research fellowships are intended to foster external collaboration and will allow external PhD students or students holding a Master’s degree to work within the CRC framework. The fellowships are tax-exempt and will be granted ideally for 6 to 12 months, covering a basic amount of 1,365 EUR plus child support, if applicable.
If you are interested in a short-term fellowship in one of our projects, keep your eyes open on the "open positions" or contact us under irtg_sfb1372[at]uol.de.

Currently, I am working on modelling the dynamics of the electron transfer chain inside the cryptochrome which is used for magnetoreception in avian migration using machine learning frameworks.
