Join the lab

Undergraduate students:

The opportunity to dip my toes into the research world as an undergraduate is why I still study plants and insects today. I am always excited to work with undergraduates who are curious about exploring this world themselves. There are opportunities in the lab for students to work on honors or thesis projects and each summer we will be hiring to help collect data for the field season.

Postdocs: We do not have current funding for an additional postdoc, but I am happy to work with motivated students on postdoctoral fellowships or grant applications. Just send an email.

Graduate students: I am likely recruiting for Fall 2025. I encourage independent project elements for grad students (particularly PhD) as long as they fit within the general goals of the lab's research program. I encourage potential applicants to contact me and members of the lab.

Students can apply to the University of Maryland's grad programs through either Entomology (Masters and PhD degrees) or the Biological Sciences interdisciplinary BEES concentration in Behavior Ecology Evolution and Systematics (PhD degree). Either way, your home department will be Entomology.
