Opportunities
Postdocs Prospective postdocs are encouraged to contact me by email to discuss research interests and potential funding opportunities.Graduate Students If you are interested in joining the lab, send me an email with a description of your general research interests and ideas for potential projects. While I don't expect my graduate students to necessarily work on existing lab projects or with any particular taxonomic group, I do expect their interests to share significant conceptual overlap with my own. I am also looking to see that you have an understanding of some of the important, unanswered questions in ecology and that you can conceive of novel approaches for getting at those questions. The more well-considered your research ideas, the more favorably your application will be viewed. In your introductory email, also describe previous research experience, relevant coursework, GPA, and GRE scores.
Undergraduate Students We welcome undergraduates who are looking to gain research experience by volunteering, for credit (e.g., BIOL 395), or through workstudy positions. Please contact me by email and describe any relevant coursework or experience, and explain why you are interested in working in this lab.
