Undergraduate Students

      Are you interested in learning about research on animal behavior? Do you want to get some research experience? I am looking for students interested in helping me with on-going projects as well as developing new ones. Students will be trained in experimental design, sound analysis and data collection. Contact me to discuss joining the lab!

Graduate Students

      Applicants should be independent and highly motivated. Research and/or field experience is also a plus. I encourage students to develop their own research projects depending upon their interests. Students interested in my general research of interests are encourage to contact me, but you do not  have to work on the same questions/species I am working on. However, if you feel particularly attracted or have exciting ideas to develop on frog-biting midges, you are also welcome to join the endeavor of understanding the amazing group of eavesdroppers.

      Most graduate students at TTU receive a stipend through teaching assistantships (TA). There are also University-wide fellowships that are generally based on GRE/GPA.

      If you are interested in joining the lab, email me a CV. Please also include a statement of your research interests and accomplishments. I will contact you to talk about your experience and career goals so we can determine if you would be a good match. Interested students should contact me during the fall semester so we can discuss the possibilities and if we decide to move forward with the application process, you can submit your complete application by mid-January. I will not consider applicants that cannot be make this deadline since all the deadlines for the university and departmental fellowships are shortly after that.

Postdocs

     Teaching postdocs are offered by the Biology Department.  If you have strong interests in developing your teaching abilities or just love teaching, this would be a good opportunity! In addition to teaching, you would be expected to develop a research project. Please contact me to discuss research projects.

      Seeking external funding to develop a postdoctoral project is also possible. If you are interested in developing a project together, please contact me to discuss possible ideas and potential funding sources.
