Master thesis or research project on metabolism of bees under climate change

29.01.2025, Diplomarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

We look for motivated students with interest in chemistry and ecology.

Climate change is a threat to biodiversity, not only affecting the number of species but the physiology of organisms. We overwintered wild bees at different temperatures and we want to find out whether warmer winters lead to higher fat consumption and which kinds of fats. The project is suitable for a master thesis in ecology, chemistry and related master thesis.

Requirements
- Responsibility, commitment, attention to detail, time, dedication
- Interest in chemistry, biothermodynamics, climate change and insects
- Interest in lab work and data analysis
- This thesis will require several times a day, in person, in Freising
- Only for bachelor and master students in LMU/TUM

We provide:
- Training in chemistry needed for fatty acid analysis
- A nice working environment in a collaborative project
- Support and guidance
