Recruitment
Postdocs
TWO FULLY FUNDED POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS are available (see HERE).
In addition, we are always interested in helping postdocs obtain independent fellowships. Some examples are listed below:
For US citizens and permanent residents, the NSF PFRB.
For US and non US-citizens, the Life Sciences Research Foundation.
For European citizens, the Marie Curie Global postdoc fellowship.
graduate students
FULLY FUNDED GRADUATE POSITIONS are also available. We are recruiting for one specific position (see HERE) but we also have funding for students interested in other aspects of our research as well!
In general, the application deadline for PhD programs at Texas A&M is early Dec and you can join one of three programs: Biology, Genetics or EEB. Well suited candidates are those that are self-motivated and have an interest in bird behavior, bioinformatics and/or speciation. Please get in touch for more information and include a CV and one page letter of motivation (kdelmore@bio.tamu.edu). There are a few different fellowship opportunities for students joining TAMU and we are always interested in helping students obtain independent fellowships including, for example, the NSF GFRP.
undergrad students
We are also always happy to have undergraduate students join our team. Students can obtain research credit through BIOL 291/491. They usually begin assisting someone else with an existing project and that project can be anywhere from molecular lab work to field work and/or bioinformatics depending on the time of year and the students interest. If interested please get in touch (kdelmore@bio.tamu.edu) and in your email answer the following questions:
Name, major and expected graduation date.
Relevant coursework and grades.
If you’ve spent time in any other labs.
Why you are interested in joining our lab.
Where you’d like to go in the future.
