We are always looking for highly motivated people! Here we value diversity both in our research topics and in our team composition, and passionate researchers from around the world are welcome to join us.

Internship Overview: Are you passionate about unraveling the mysteries of environmental science and exploring cutting-edge research about emerging contaminants? If so, we invite you to join Advanced Environmental Ultra Research Laboratory (ADVENTURE Lab) at CYCU for an exciting internship opportunity. As part of this transformative experience, participants will engage in an integrated curriculum that combines intensive professional lectures with hands-on laboratory internships. This blend of academic learning and practical training is enhanced by the invaluable opportunity to visit leading industries in Taiwan. State-of-art instruments including LC-MS/MS, TOC analyzer, SEM, TEM, infrared spectroscopy, Raman and X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and FTIR, and in practice of trace environmental analysis such as air, soil, surface water and wastewater samples will be provided. Participants will also gain experience in the fieldwork, sample pretreatment and analysis, and interpretation of the data by statistic tools and data mining. More importantly, teamwork experience and multidisciplinary learning will be the most valuable career assets for them through this training process The journey extends into the heart of Taiwan’s cultural heritage, offering an enriching blend of knowledge and exploration that transcends the conventional classroom environment.
