RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

Postdoctoral Researchers

I am interested in collaborating with postdoctoral researchers on projects of mutual interest.  No funding is currently available, but I'd be happy to write joint proposals with folks who have interesting and fundable ideas.

Recent or imminent Ph.D.'s with interests in microbial ecology, environmental microbiology, and/or the linkages between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are particularly encouraged to contact me regarding their ideas; other inquiries are also welcome. 

 

Graduate Students

I am looking for 1-2 graduate students to begin study in the spring, summer, or fall of 2008. Students interested in the interface between community and ecosystem ecology, the ecology of infectious disease, population genetics, and functional genomics are particularly encouraged to apply.

For more information about research in progress in the Cottingham lab, please email me

Undergraduate Students

We typically hire 1-3 undergraduate students each spring and summer to assist with mesocosm experiments, lake and stream sampling, laboratory work, and computer modeling and statistics.

If you're interested in working in my lab, please email me and we'll set up an appointment. Students with interests and experience in aquatic ecology and/or microbiology are particularly encouraged to apply.

Students who are interested in long-term commitments leading to independent (Bio 95/96) or honors (Bio 97) research projects will receive particular consideration.
