Graduate Students
I am not accepting PhD students for the 2023-2024 school year.
I accepted 2 PhD students starting in the 2022-2023 academic year for my new NSF-funded project. A formal application process is on the Graduate Student page here.

Undergraduate Students
Volunteering is a unique opportunity for individuals to gain first-hand experience with active research. There are numerous benefits, including: training in new techniques, data management, lab and field safety, networking, independent research, and producing peer-reviewed publications. These outcomes can be invaluable in helping you apply to graduate programs. We are bringing on a new cohort of undergraduate student researchers for the 2021-2022 academic year. A formal application process is on the Undergraduate Student page here.
Postdocs
Post-doctoral researchers are encouraged to apply for external fellowships prior to joining the lab (e.g., NSF Biology Postdoc, Smith Conservation Research Fellowship, UC President's Postdoc). If you would like help with a postdoc fellowship application, or are interested in working with me on a large grant proposal that includes salary support for you, please email roxanne@ucsc.edu.
