Work with us
We aim to be a multicultural, inclusive and collaborative team, and welcome new conncetions. Good science and good times can go hand in hand!
We are always eager to interact with curious and passionate students with new ideas and strong motivation to carry out a thesis project or work with us.
Our primary interest is in working with students with
- a CV (Curriculum Vitae/Resume)
- a strong quantitative background in agricultural/environmental sciences, modelling and remote sensing;
- a strong quali-quantitative background in agroecology and assessment of farming systems.
If you are interested in joining ASτER for a thesis or a collaboration, please email francesco.fava@unimi.it, and include:
- a cover letter describing your motivations, ideas/interests, skills
- a CV (Curriculum Vitae/Resume)
