Nanna Brande-Lavridsen

As I would like to gain new skills and knowledge, I am looking for new challenges. Working with wildlife/ecological surveys and nature conservation has always been of great interest to me, and I would like to gain more practical experience. 

Through my education, research and work, I have gained a broad knowledge of many aspects of biology, including ecology. I have learned a range of techniques within the field such as data analysis and GIS. Even though I have worked in laboratory-based research for many years, I have some experience in field-based work and habitat/animal surveys (amphibians, bats). 

More importantly, through my love for the natural environment and animals, I am experienced in identify animal signs and classify species with good confidence. I am a very outdoor person and fit to undertake remote fieldwork under prevailing environmental conditions. 

 I have many years of experience planning and managing (research) projects. Working with international collaborators and local authorities has been a part of this. 

I have a PhD degree in Biology from the University of Southern Denmark. In my studies, I have primarily focused on animal physiology, ecotoxicology and ecology. During most of my career, I have been involved in projects investigating the physiological effects of environmental chemicals and nanomaterials on various model species. However, a year ago, I decided to pursue a new career path and started on an MSc in Global Ecology and Conservation from Cardiff University, which I have just finished.
