If you are interested in joining our lab as a graduate student or postdoc send me an e-mail with a statement of the kinds of questions that you would be interested in pursuing and a brief overview of your previous academic and research experiences. This will give me a sense of how your skills and interests might fit in with the rest of the lab. Also include a copy of your CV and an unofficial transcript.
Prospective graduate students should definitely check out this great EBIO resource!!!
Status for August 2025 admission:
Students: Admission deadlines for Fall 2025 have now passed.
Postdocs: I currently have funds to support postdoctoral research with red squirrels, but I do not currently have funds to support the stipend of postdoctoral researchers. Postdocs would need to secure stipend support from some of the funding resources below. I do not currently have any advertised postdoctoral positions.
Research Technicians: I do not currently have any Research Technician positions available.
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU): We will hire two REU students to work on the red squirrel project each year. See here for more details.
