Graduate students (recruiting for Fall 2024)
Thank you for your interest in the Rangeland Ecology and Restoration Lab in the Department of Animal and Range Sciences at New Mexico State University. I am seeking students at the MS and PhD level interested in trait-based restoration to start in the lab in Fall 2024. More specifically, I am recruiting a MS student to lead experiments focused on how root and mycorrhizal traits influence plant survival under drought and a PhD student to lead investigations on which traits (e.g., seed, bud bank, root) drive plant establishment and regeneration in dryland ecosystems. Both students will have opportunities to conduct experiments in lab, greenhouse, and field settings (e.g., Jornada Experimental Range). Students will be encouraged to develop their own research questions related to these projects throughout their graduate studies.
If you are interested in joining the lab please contact me via email ([email protected]) before January 16, 2024. Please attach a resume/CV to an email in which you discuss:
Additional tips for interacting with me or other potential graduate school advisors can be found here. Students who choose to apply to the lab will need to meet the requirements of the Range Science Graduate Program and apply to the program before February 1, 2024. Both positions will be supported through research and/or teaching assistantships. Individuals from traditionally excluded groups in science and higher education are encouraged to apply.

Undergraduate students
I am excited to support undergraduate researchers through paid work positions or independent research projects. Please contact me via email to learn of opportunities.

Postdoctoral researchers
I do not currently have funding to support postdoctoral researchers, but am eager to support applications for postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., USDA NIFA, NSF, Smith Fellowship).
