Education & training

One of ISEM’s foremost missions is to train future generations of researchers, teachers and experts in evolutionary biology, ecology and biodiversity science through its involvement in initial training (more than 30 lecturers and professors) and training through research (over 85 thesis defences and 320 Master’s trainees hosted in 5 years).

All ISEM members—lecturers-professors, researchers, engineers and technicians—are highly involved in education and training through research and ISEM hosts many trainees and doctoral students every year. Below we outline internship and funded thesis offers, as well as thesis topics proposed in the doctoral school competitions. If you are interested, please contact the person named in the proposal.
