Bring an enlightened, competent and creative perspective to this discipline. During the training, you use the experimental or comparative approach to elucidate the mechanisms or interrelationships which are expressed on spatial scales ranging from the molecule to the biosphere and on temporal scales ranging from the immediacy of synaptic transmission to the slow recycling of elements of biogeochemical cycles.
You will be required to develop your technical skills, your critical sense, your ability to identify fundamental implications, by implementing your research results and your ability to communicate the results of your work.
