 We also welcome Masters students with a strong grounding in either molecular or evolutionary biology (the lab is currently full for Jan-June 2024). We welcome motivated undergraduates as well, but currently have two and are full up till June. If you are interested in pursuing a PhD in our lab, please write to me.  If you are a postdoctoral fellow with independent funding interested in working in our lab, please write to me, and we can work on new ideas together as well. 


Important! 

For all applicants: Spend some time reading about our work and lab philosophy. Read at least one publication listed on the lab site. If you are excited about the lab, write to me with a CV and a brief (1 to 2 page) write-up saying why you want to work with us and what ideas you would like to explore. Spend some time thinking about and composing this. I will count it as an added bonus if you can suggest immediate future directions following from any of our past papers. I will not be able to respond to emails that do not include these documents.
