Information for Prospective Lab Members
Postdoctoral Research Opportunities
I am currently looking for a post-doc to join the lab! The successful applicant will collaborate on lab projects that focus on plant evolutionary responses to multi-species interactions, links between plant-herbivore and plant-microbe interactions, crop domestication and plant defense, and/or the chemical ecology of seed dispersal and fruit defense. Approaches will include field and greenhouse experimentation with plants, insects, and microbes, as well as chemical analyses of plant secondary metabolites. There is also considerable flexibility to pursue additional projects of interest that relate to the lab goals. Please visit https://listings.jobs.vt.edu/postings/75843 to see more details and apply.
Research Technician
I am looking for a part-time research technician to begin in the lab in Fall 2017. Please contact me if you are interested.
Graduate Research Opportunities
I am currently looking for motivated, independent graduate students (MS or PhD) to begin in Fall 2018. 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).
Applications are due in December for an Aug 2018 start, please see https://www.biol.vt.edu/ for details.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
I am always looking for motivated undergraduates to join the lab. 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. Please contact me to discuss opportunities in the lab.
