Postdoctoral Fellows

We encourage people interested in a postdoc in the lab to apply to fellowship programs, for which we could potentially serve as the host lab. Examples:

• Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA)

• NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology (PRFB)

Graduate Students

We are not currently seeking graduate students, however we may be able to accept students who bring their own funding. Example programs:

• Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)
