Current openings

Postdoctoral  positions: Mentoring postdocs is one of my favorite things, and I often have funding available. Please send me your CV and a short note that summarizes your goals. I am always interested in helping applicants obtain their own funding (e.g., NIH NRSA, NSF PRFB). The lab currently hosts one NSF PRFB recipient (Dylan Shropshire), for example. 

Graduate positions: Please message me with your CV and your specific interests to inquire about PhD opportunities. 

Undergraduate positions: I almost always have positions for undergraduates in the lab. Please send me an email with some information about yourself, including your GPA and a short summary of your goals.

Our lab in Missoula

We share an open lab space with several other research groups focused evolutionary and population genetic problems. This creates an exceptional intellectual environment for student and postdoc training. ​Missoula is a wonderful town with plenty of restaurants, breweries, culture, and fun things to do in addition to being surrounded by all of the natural beauty that Montana has to offer. We are short drives away from Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, the National Bison Range (see the main site header), and Flathead Biological Station. More locally, we are surrounded by a number of beautiful places to hike, swim, float, and fish.
