Research opportunities for students:
Undergraduates
Our laboratory offers possibilities for independent studies, and summer research positions through the SURF program at UCONN (hdeadline for applications is beginning of calendar year), and also Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU sponsored through the National Science Foundation). If you are a highly motivated undergraduate enrolled at UCONN wanting to learn laboratory skills such as DNA extraction and sequencing, and thereby acquire research experience, you should contact me . If you are interested in learning more about bryophytes join our weekly discussion group, or sign-up for EEB 240, Introduction to bryophyte and lichen biology (offered alternate spring semesters – every two years from 2009).

Graduate students
Interested in joining the lab to earn your graduate degree? A passion for biology and past experience are each necessary but not sufficient. So tell me more about yourself and your interests. You will find most of the information you need regarding our graduate program through the EEB web page.
