evolutionary & conservation ecology
Welcome! The research conducted in my
lab primarily focuses on conservation and evolutionary ecology of threatened
aquatic and semi-aquatic species in NW Canada (especially AB and YT).
More specifically, lab members are studying water quality, aquatic community
diversity and health, and contaminant levels along elevational gradients in
western Canadian mountains. You can see past works by visiting
the publications page.
Keep up with me on Bluesky
and via my
Google Scholar
profile.
Opportunities - please read before contacting me
PDF: It's almost always true that I do not
have funds to support the stipend of a postdoctoral fellow. Inquiries from interested
folks with external funding - or those that want to apply
for external funding (e.g.,
NSERC
Postdoctoral Fellowship
or Liber Ero Fellowship)
with me - are always welcome.
PhD and MSc: I am not actively recruiting graduate students.
Undergraduate research opportunities: I usually recruit 1-3 undergraduate
research students every year. Most of the time, you will spend four months as an assistant to a
graduate student in the lab, potentially also collecting data for a thesis project that you would
work on in the following Fall and Winter terms. Generally, it's best to contact me in Fall or by
January at the latest, given when NSERC and PURE scholarship applications are due.
