Join us!

I strive to create an open, diverse, supportive and inclusive research environment. Note that the ability to do field work is not required for graduate research in my lab.

I am recruiting graduate students!  My work includes a blend of field and wet lab-based and data-oriented research, and I invite students with interests in either or both.  Past field work has centered around New Zealand, but in the next few years, we will establish a field program in Oklahoma, which has one of the steepest environmental gradients in the United States. You can find out more about the OU graduate program here. If this sounds interesting, please get in touch! All prospective grad students should be aware that the annual deadline for applications is December 1, for students starting the following Fall semester. All inquiries should include a brief statement of YOUR research interests and why you think my lab is the right place to pursue them. (Don’t tell me about MY research—tell me about YOU!)

I am also recruiting undergraduate students! If you are looking for research experience or a lab 'home' for your honors project, please reach out!
