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? I may (pending funding) be accepting a new graduate student for Fall 2024. Please see the research section to learn more about current projects in the lab and read a few of our publications. 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). If you have research interests that overlap with mine, please fill out this interest form and I will get back to you as I am able.
Graduate students accepted to our program 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 listservs and other 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 fill out this interest form and we will be sure to let you know next time we have positions available!
