If you are excited about our research, we'd love to discuss project ideas with you. Just e-mail us (Prof. Kira Rehfeld and the SPACY group) and send us a short CV, tell us about your area of interest, your study record, and the rough timing you envisage. Bachelor theses and Master's scientific practice typically start around November 1st or May 1st. Please confirm your thesis with us one month prior to the starting date. While not strictly required, including your CV or other documents when reaching out can give us a better idea of your studies and interests.
Some of our thesis ideas involve a lot of modeling/programming, whereas others focus on lab work. You can find a couple of projects we are currently offering on our research pages. Courses that prepare you well cover, for example, climate dynamics, time series analysis, or programming (the SPACY group's course offerings are here). However, you can also contact us if you want to develop skills in your thesis work that you don't already have – research is about learning new, exciting things and abilities. As an interdisciplinary team of environmental scientists, geologists, meteorologists, geographers and physicist, we look forward to hearing from you and develop a project that suits your interests and skills.
