If you are an MSc, BSc, PhD, or a postdoctoral student who would like to collaborate with our lab on your research project or conduct an internship with us, you are on the right page! Please study our ongoing projects in the lab and pre-define your own sub-projects depending on your expertise, interests, the timeline, and the ambitions of the scientific contributions depth you wish to achieve in your project.
Collaborations between the QoL Lab, clinical partners (HUG), industry partners and international organizations, as well as other stakeholders in the well-being, health, and quality of life domain, are implied. An international visit abroad – to spend some time with the project collaborators is always an option. To start, please read about our ongoing projects and review the list of past theses from the lab. When you are ready, draft your own sub-project idea. Then answer all the questions in the “Your Turn” section below. After receiving your email, we will review your proposal and schedule a discussion with you. Improve behavior, health, and life quality for everyone, one project at a time!
Please answer all questions below. Use as much or as little detail as you find appropriate. Answer all questions regardless of your level. The answers should be returned via email to Prof. Katarzyna Wac. We reserve the right to be unimpressed if you cannot follow these simple instructions. We also encourage projects in teams, so if you have a friend or two who are interested, you can write a thesis together and join forces to improve health for everyone!
