Postdoctoral Associates
I encourage those interested in topics in plant reproductive ecology and evolutionary biology to contact me to discuss possible avenues for funding. If you're not already considering independent Postdoctoral Fellowships, check out programs via NSF, Ford Foundation, or the Society for Conservation Biology, to name a few.
Graduate Students
Interested in pursing a PhD? I welcome motivated students who share my primary interests to contact me about opportunities in my lab. It’s an exciting time to join the Biology Department at Temple. Our department is expanding, and we have a strong core group of faculty in ecology, evolutionary biology, and genomics. Funding possibilities at Temple for PhD students are available through TA positions and sometimes RA positions. Top candidates may be eligible for university-wide fellowships. I highly encourage students to consider applying for an NSF predoctoral fellowship.
Interested students should contact me in advance of applying to Temple’s graduate school. Please send me your resume or CV, including any research experience and GPA and GRE scores. Include a letter explaining why you would like to attend graduate school, how you think you would fit into the lab, and what kinds of research you are interested in pursuing.
Graduate school is extremely rewarding, but may not be suitable for everyone, depending on one’s goals and expectations. Advice on being a graduate student in general is readily available from various sources on the web. Here is one such source about how to decide whether to go to graduate school and how to select a graduate program and advisor: http://www.phd-survey.org/advice/advice.htm
Undergraduate Students
Temple has several excellent avenues for undergraduates to become involved in research, including the College of Science and Technology’s Undergraduate Research Program, the Temple Diamond Research Scholars Program, the Biology Honors Research Program, or as an Honors Scholars Project. More informal opportunities to participate in my lab may also be available. I encourage students to be proactive and investigate these options and to contact me to find out about current opportunities to participate in research activities in the lab.
