Graduate Students (updated 2/22/24)

We hope to recruit a new graduate student in 2024 (for start in 2025) — watch this page for updates. Passionate students with an interest in combining any of the following fields will be encouraged to apply: natural history, phylogenetics, molecular biology, evolutionary ecology, and chemical ecology. Experience doing research and fieldwork is highly recommended. Basic skills in bioinformatics and experimental molecular biology would be ideal but are not necessary. Prospective students should contact me with their CV and a description of their research interests prior to applying. Los(as) estudiantes interesados(as) que hablen español, si lo prefieren, pueden escribirme en ese idioma.

Applications for the IB graduate program (PhD only) are normally due the first week of December. See more information here.

Postdocs

I encourage postdocs to seek out independent fellowships like those listed here, here, here, here, and here. NSF PRFB fellows, please contact me in advance to help write your proposals.

Undergraduates

We have anywhere from 5-15 undergraduate researchers in the lab at a time. Please look for open URAP opportunities to join the lab or connect with one of the graduate students or postdocs in the lab.
