Masters and bachelor students as well as trainees are welcomed, and interested students should feel free to contact me or other lab members.

Main subjects are in the fields of ornithology, bird migration, orientation, simulation of movements, bird conservation and avian biology in general.

Field projects could involve trapping, ringing, radio tracking, geolocators or orientation cage experiments.

Theoretical projects could involve the following: Analysis of (1) ringing data, (2) satellite telemetry data, (3) migration routes/patterns, (4) the extensive ringing data from Christiansø (including stopover ecology/competition, trends, influence of climate change, etc.) or (5) the occurrence of rarities.

In general, financial support will be limited, making studies using radio tracking or satellite telemetry and long-term field-studies dependent on external financing.
