Positions Available

Masters Projects

I supervise projects in the MRes Environmental Biology (and Conversion) course, and am happy to discuss potential MPhil projects (either in Behavioural and Neural Sciences through IBANS, or self-designed). Visit my Projects Page to see past and potential Masters projects.

Senior Honours Projects

I can supervise a wide range of projects, from wetlab work doing genetic manipulations in yeast through to exclusively computer-based projects in bioinformatics, ecology, neuroscience, or behaviour. Visit my Projects Page to see some projects done by other students in my lab as well as some potential future projects. Students interested in working with me on their senior honours project feel free to contact me (anne.smith@st-andrews.ac.uk) with questions; also you will find it useful to read the information on the Research Page and the pages linked from there describing background to the computational methods.

Other Undergraduate Research Opportunities

Students wishing to gain experience in computational biology research please feel free to contact me (anne.smith@st-andrews.ac.uk) to set up a meeting to discuss your interests and potential research opportunities. My Projects Page lists some projects done by other students in my lab as well as some potential future projects, and is worth a visit to get an idea of the type of projects possible in my lab. I have no funding for undergraduate research, but there are several opportunities for applying for summer support; if we determine that working together would be a good fit, I am willing to help students with identifying and applying for support.

Please note that funding deadlines are earlier than you may think! Many are in early February and some are as early as December, so please try to contact me sooner rather than later. Visit my Undergraduate Funding Page for links to some funding opportunities that I have compiled.
