Extramural funding opportunities may exist to work on lab projects, so please inquire about these specifically when posts are active.
I welcome inquiries from self-motivated and enthusiastic individuals who have a passion for biology and want to work with plants and insects related to the work we do in the lab. However, I actively engage my students and strongly encourage every lab member to develop their own research projects.
I expect lab members to take school seriously and to pursue outside funding through grant proposals, scholarships, and fellowships. This will facilitate your independence in research and enhance your training. As a lab member you will be expected to engage your fellow biologists within the School and at regional/national meetings through various formal and informal presentations and activities. One of my goals as a scientist is to continually improve my ability to communicate science to the general public, and I expect my lab members to also work toward that goal.
If you are an undergraduate or graduate student interested in applying, please send me a resume/CV, a statement of research interests, and the names of two or three individuals who can evaluate your potential as a research scientist. If you are a postdoctoral associate looking to collaborate as a postdoctoral researcher, please send me a short cv with a specific (and detailed!) description of your research interests AND how they might integrate into the lab. Basically, I want to know why you want to join us.
Obtaining independent funding is the optimal way to fund your research and navigate academia, although at University of Melbourne, graduate students are fully funded once accepted. For visiting scholars please check out some of these opportunities:
