Looking for a research project in Asia

Looking for a research project in Asia

Postby westwoodnick » 2/15/11

Hello there,

I am a Master's student in Sweden looking to get involved in a research project in which i can write my final Master Thesis on.

I am looking primarily at institutes in Asia. If there are any labs out there that would be open to a Grad student working with them to work in the field/lab to collect data for my thesis please let me know.

Kindest regards

Nick

p.s I'm open to a large range of topics in marine biology/ecology.

Hey there Nick!

Have you tried directly contacting institutions about what you need?

You could try e-mailing the director or the assistant director of the marine lab at Silliman University. It's in the Philippines and I'm from there, but I'm currently in Japan pursuing biology credits as an exchange student.

They are open to graduate students who want to work in the lab or use the lab as their home base while doing their theses. The Silliman University Institute of Environmental and Marine Sciences marine lab. It's worth a shot. Good luck!


If you have any questions about the marine lab or anything, just post here. :)

Thanks for your post!!

I'm going to check that out now.

I have been contacting universities in partnership with my university in Sweden, but not many have agreements made with labs in Asia.

Thanks for this info, I will look into it right now.

Thanks again,

Nick
