Current openings
Postdoctoral positions: Mentoring postdocs is one of my favorite things, and I often have funding available (see below). 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, for example.
-NIH and NSF-funded postdoc positions available to work on all things Wolbachia, from genomes and cells to phenotypes and population biology. Please see the ad and contact me.
-NIH-funded postdoc position available to work on viral and bacterial population genetics, with emphasis on developing methods/theory. This postdoc will work in collaboration with Jeff Good and me at U. Montana and Jeff Jensen at Arizona State U. Location is completely flexible, including a remote option. Please see the ad and contact us.
Graduate positions: I may have graduate positions available. If you are interested, please send me your CV and a short note about your background and research interests.
Undergraduate positions: We regularly 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.
