For Prospective Graduate Students:
My expertise and research interests are centered on the process of local adaptation in plants, and include the subdisciplines of Plant Evolution, Genetics, Physiology and Population, and Quantitative Genetics. Students will be required to take classes and training in those areas, but will be encouraged to develop their own research interests and study systems.
How to apply:
If you are interested in joining the lab, send me an e-mail. Please briefly describe your background, major research interests and why you are interested in working in my lab. I can take students from two cross-departmental graduate groups: Graduate Group in Ecology and Graduate Group in Plant Molecular Biology. These are separate entities from the department to which I belong, Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management. These two graduate groups differ primarily in their core courses in the first year. We can discuss which program might be best for you; depending on your interests as well as funding possibilities.
