Dear Students and Graduates,
we present an offer of internships abroad:
The Cyprus Wildlife Research Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection and conservation of Cyprus’s native species and habitats.
 

Fossil resins from the Early Eocene period are relatively scarce, with the majority of specimens being found in the Vastan and Tadkeshwar mines in Gujarat province, India. The Cambay amber, which is dated to approximately 54.5 million years ago (Ma), is a notable example.

Our department has become a member of the Tropical Biology Association. The membership gives our students the opportunity to participate in tropical ecology courses organized by the Society (in Uganda for example) and to receive discounts on participation fees. 
The Society also organizes lectures and online courses. We encourage you to check out the Society's website: https://tropical-biology.org/new-specialist-courses/
 

Article by Professor Jacek Szwedo published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications

We are looking for a Ph.D. student to work and study at the Department of Bacterial Molecular Genetics, University of Gdansk in Poland. The doctoral  project, entitled “Deciphering elements of the global transcriptional network governing Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation”, will be realised in international collaboration with Dr. Manuel Banzhaf (Newcastle University, currently University of Birmingham, UK).

We are pleased to invite you to the open lectures of Professor Dany Azar

07.11.2022 - 17:00 Faculty of Biology, University of Gdańsk, Auditorium Biologicum C105 lecture: "History of Lebanon through its fossils"

14.11.2022 - 17:00 Faculty of Biology, University of Gdańsk, Auditorium Biologicum C105 lecture: "Cretaceous formations in Lebanon: Biodiversity and reconstruction of palaeobiota"

An international team of scientists, which also includes researchers from the University of Gdańsk - Professor Jacek Szwedo and Błażej Bojarski from the Laboratory of Evolutionary Entomology and Museum of Amber Inclusions, has recently described more species of ants from Miocene Ethiopian amber, the largest collection of which is housed in the Museum of Amber Inclusions at the University of Gdańsk. Thanks to this research, our collection has been enriched with more type specimens representing extinct ants.

A new European bison parasite for science

Within the framework of the project "European University of the Seas - SEA-EU" the Research Potential Database and the Shared Infrastructure Database have been developed. They are available at https://sea-eu.pl/.

We encourage you to use the available information, as well as to complete them with data on research teams and resources you would like to make available to partners. The purpose of the platform is, among others, to promote teams and to facilitate mutual contacts.
