Graduate Students:
I am looking for motivated graduate students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in microbial ecology and evolution. Students interested in my lab may apply either to the Department of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics or the Department of Plant Biology. The application deadline for both departments is December 15. In addition, I am a faculty member in the Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Behavior Program (EEBB) and the BEACON Center for Study of Evolution in Action.

Students are funded through a combination of research grants, teaching assistantships, and university fellowships. Students will spend their first (and possibly second) academic years on campus fulfilling course and teaching requirements. In the summers and after academic year 2, students are in residence at the Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) . Interested graduate students should send a email letter of inquiry containing an overview of your research interests, your CV, grades, and GRE scores (if available).

Rotation Students:
Funds are available for MMG graduate students to conduct 10-week rotations in my laboratory at KBS.

Postdocs:
I currently have funding for a postdoc in my lab. In addition, I have interdisciplinary grants submitted that would fund postdocs to work on microbial ecology topics in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Postdocs in my lab are in residence at KBS, but have the opportunity for involvement in academic programs and collaborations with researchers on MSU’s main campus. Please contact me if you are interested
