Information for Prospective Lab Members
Post-docs
Currently we do not have any funded post-doctoral positions open, but I am always happy to discuss potential fellowship applications with prospective post-docs that are especially interested in our lab.
Graduate Research Opportunities
Interested in graduate studies (MS or PhD) in our lab? Please see the research section to learn more about current projects in the lab and read a few of our publications. If you have research interests that overlap with mine, please send me a brief letter describing your background and research interests and include a current CV. Also, please take the time to read this very helpful advice to prospective students (written by Deane Bowers at U of Colorado, but the same principles apply here). Graduate students will be supported with a combination of research and teaching assistantships in the Department of Biological Sciences. All students are also encouraged to apply for external fellowships such as the National Science Foundation Pre-doctoral Fellowship (https://www.nsfgrfp.org).
Please see https://www.biol.vt.edu/ for application details.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
We typically recruit undergraduates to join the lab through email advertisements toward the end of a semester. Generally students will begin as assistants on existing research projects, and can later advance to an independent project focusing on one of the several areas of research focus in the lab. We offer research for course credit or in paid positions (for students that have work study awards). Please contact me to discuss opportunities in the lab.
