Current openings

Postdoctoral  positions: I may have funding in the lab to support postdocs. Please send me a CV and a short note explaining your goals if you are interested in working with me. I am almost always interested in helping candidates obtain their own funding (e.g., NIH NRSA, NSF PRFB).

Graduate positions: I accept graduate students through the CMMB and EE graduate programs. Interested candidates should contact me directly with a CV and a brief statement about why you would (specifically) like to work with me. 

Undergraduate positions: We regularly have positions for undergraduates in the lab. Students should send me an email with some information about yourself, including your GPA and a short note about 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. Join us!
