I am currently not recruiting grad students and postdocs
Come join a friendly, respectful, supportive, and enthusiastic research lab at the University of Utah!! If you are seeking a graduate program or a postdoctoral position and your interests align with ours (or close to ours -- see 'Research' tab), please reach out via e-mail. At SBS, graduate applications are only accepted during the Fall (early December). Click here for more information on our Ecology, Evolution & Organismal Biology Program (EEOB).
I am open to working with you on a fellowship application if my lab is right for you. New positions will be posted here when available.
I will be actively recruiting undergraduate students for internships in our lab. Send me an email or drop by my office if you are interested in field and lab research on plant ecophysiology.
Additionally, my lab is always open to collaborating on outreach events. Please message us and we can move on from there.
Let's do some cool science!
