I welcome all inquiries from potential M.S. or PhD students who are self motivated, creative, inquisitive, and hard working and who have a track record of distinguished academic achievements and ideally prior undergraduate or graduate research experience. If you are interested in applying to work with me in the Rhizolab, please send your CV and a brief description of your background and research experience and interests. While I write grants and try my darnedest to get money to support students on research grants they aren't always easy to come by. You can help though. I strongly encourage students to seek external sources of funding from programs such as:
- • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program: http://www.epa.gov/ncer/fellow/
- • National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program: http://www.nsfgrfp.org/
- • NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants Program: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5234
