Research opportunities
If you are interested in the possibility of undertaking research, you should read the notes about research opportunities in the Rainbow Group, and the pages to which they refer for details about what we do and the procedure for applying here.
If you want to pursue the possibility, you should send a research proposal by e-mail and then arrange to visit or talk by 'phone. In the mean time, if you contact more than one person in the Laboratory, please make sure that all the people you contact are aware of all the others so that we do not duplicate effort.
