Opportunities in the Lab
Expectations
I expect that students in my lab will hold common interests in ecology and conservation, with strong appreciation for integrating other fields, such as evolutionary biology and statistics, into their research and development as biologists. I will consider advising students on a wide range of topics, including research on landscape ecology, animal behavior, population dynamics, quantitative modeling, avian ecology, and conservation.
Tips
If you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree in our lab, we highly recommend reading publications from the lab to determine if and how our work interests you.
Want research experience? Contact us!
Our lab often has openings for motivated undergraduate students that want to gain valuable research experience, including both field experience and computer experience (e.g., GIS skills). We expect undergraduates to be very committed to their work in the lab. If you are interested in gaining research experience relevant to the work in our lab, please send Dr. Fletcher a resume, 2-3 names of references, your current GPA, and a brief statement of why you would like to work in our lab.
We are currently recruiting 1 new Ph.D. student for Fall 2024
Our lab is transitioning to the University of Cambridge for Fall 2024. As part of this transition, we will be recruiting 1 PhD student to work on landscape conservation in Africa. This position will include working with field experiments in southern Africa and linking those insights to broad-scale modeling of vertebrate distribution and land change.
This funding is limited to UK citizens only (those with 'home' status'). Please contact Rob for more details and see this link.
We are currently recruiting 1 new postdoc for Fall 2024
Our lab is transitioning to the University of Cambridge for Fall 2024. As part of this transition, we will be recruiting a postdoc to work on global modeling of connectivity and conservation problems. This position will be linked to the Cambridge Conservation Initiative. Please contact Rob for more details.
