Interested in Joining the Lab?
I seek to recruit independent and driven graduate students who arrive armed with questions that in some way complement those being addressed by my lab. Competition for spots in the SEFS Wildlife Science Group is intense. I will be especially inclined to support candidates who (1) have an excellent record of preparation (including highly competitive academic transcripts and relevant research experience), (2) show an interest in exploring concepts rather than working with specific taxa, (3) are committed to working collaboratively and amicably, (4) obtain their own financial support (e.g., from the EPA, Hertz Foundation, National Science Foundation) and are willing to continually seek external funding, (5) can articulate why they want to be a graduate student, and (6) demonstrate a commitment to improving DEI within STEM.
I currently have neither space nor funds for any new graduate students. Thus, I am not accepting any new applications, funded or unfunded, at this time. I do, however, regularly update this site regarding my capacity to support graduate students (last updated 03/12/2023). If my capacity has changed, then I will either advertise funding for a project here (as well as on Ecolog and the Texas A&M Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Job Board) or encourage applications from students who have obtained their own funding (via grant/fellowship). Should you want to discuss the possibility of joining the lab under either scenario, please familiarize yourself with the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences Graduate Application Process and email me as much of the following information as possible: a CV, unofficial copies of your transcripts (if available), and a brief letter of interest explaining why you want to pursue graduate studies and how our research goals overlap.
