JOIN THE LAB
The Global Ecology & Sustainability Lab is dedicated to helping scholars and students become skilled scientists that make real-world impacts that can change the planet for the better.
Our group is committed to fostering both individual success and team-oriented research experiences, as well as building holistic experiences by matching research passions with the skills you need and want, while also meeting employment requirements across diverse sectors (government, NGOs, industry, and academia).
If you are highly motivated, detail-oriented, embody a positive outlook in the face of adversity, and committed to diverse careers in the environmental sciences, I’d recommend that you apply to the graduate group(s) you are most interested in! Please learn more about opportunities in the section below.

For purposes of equity and inclusion and in light of the number of e-mails I receive on this subject, I can no longer respond to individual emails about opportunities in the lab or meet individually with applicants PRIOR to the application deadline. If you are interested in joining, please include my name as your FIRST CHOICE and I will personally review your application.
The most competitive Ph.D. applicants are those who have completed a research-based masters, have PUBLISHED at least one, first-author peer-reviewed journal article, and are authentically passionate about research.
The most competitive masters students are those who have extensive research experience, specifically at least 12 months of full-time research/lab/field employment, and at least one peer-reviewed journal article (e.g., in review).
If you decide to select me as your FIRST CHOICE and you have submitted your application, you are welcome to let me know by clicking on the button below.
