Topics for Theses
Our working group regularly supervises Master and Bachelor theses, and we are happy to collaborate on PhD and postdoc projects. In addition to fieldwork within Germany, we also offer international field work opportunities to master’s students. Below is a list of our current open thesis topics. At the end of the page, you will also find a template for submitting an independent thesis proposal.
When contacting us regarding a thesis topic, please let us know something about yourself. Specifically, please send us your CV including information on previous experience in R and statistics (or any other relevant skills such as fieldwork experience), your academic certificates, and a brief motivation letter explaining why you are interested in this specific topic. Information on your time frame would also be a good idea.
Please note that the language of the working group is English.
