Postdocs

I am always interested in discussing possible postdoc opportunities with dedicated scientists. We are excited to work with individuals with creative ideas for their own projects that jive with the general themes of the lab. Individuals with bioinformatics experience are of particular interest. UT also has a great postdoc fellowship program that we have used to host previous postdocs – the Stengl Wyer Scholars. Please contact Justin to discuss opportunities and include a brief CV and statement of research/career interests.

Graduate Students

We are currently accepting graduate students in the lab through several graduate programs at UT Austin: Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior, Cell and Molecular Biology, and Plant Biology. Please contact Justin if you’re thinking about applying. Current funding is available for students interested in the role of mitonuclear interactions in forming species boundaries.

If you might be interested in joining the lab as a graduate student, check out our graduate student expectations document:

Undergraduate Students

Any undergraduate students wishing to gain research experience should contact Justin if interested. Opportunities in the lab include learning wet lab and bioinformatics skills.

Research @ UT Turtle Pond

We are coordinating a large research effort using the UT Turtle Pond as a living laboratory. Almost anyone can get involved in this work, with very little effort to being. If you’re interested, contact Justin .
