Supervisory statement
Choosing a supervisor is a major decision, especially when dedicating several of your best years to a project.
Have your own funding or a fellowship idea?
We welcome enquiries from self-funded students and from researchers planning fellowship applications. If your idea fits our work on how trees adapt, and how we can conserve them, send a short note about yourself and what you would like to do, with your CV. We can then talk it through together, including which funding scheme might suit you best.
