JOIN THE LAB
UPCOMING PLANS & POSITIONS
As a new faculty member, I will be actively growing my lab over the next few years. I am currently seeking project funding for graduate students, with a particular focus on reef fish ecology in coastal North Carolina. I will announce student positions as they become available.
I will also be building a research program with the University of Guam to study coral reef fish ecology and fisheries in Micronesia. Student projects for that program will be announced as they become available.
Undergraduate students seeking research experience are more than welcome in the lab, but availability is limited. Please email me or drop by my office if interested!
