Prospective students and postdocs:
I am currently looking for new students to join the lab, and would be delighted if you contacted me to discuss mutual interests and the possible opportunities. The EEB department at U. Michigan has a vibrant PhD program and master’s programs. Application deadlines are Dec. 1st. If you would like to conduct your postdoctoral research in the lab, please contact me. Those interested in all aspects of fungal evolution would be highly encouraged. An excellent opportunity for scholars looking to train towards a future academic position (research and teaching experience) is provided by the Michigan Society of Fellows program.
