Join us!

I'm looking forward to building a collaborative, supportive, and diverse group that is dedicated to advancing science and conservation alongside justice and equity. I am open to lab members joining our existing research projects or designing their own, grounded either in fieldwork or synthesis of existing datasets. Members of the research group will be expected to:
​
  • Lead independent research and work collaboratively in teams
  • Conduct research that is grounded in theory while advancing conservation outcomes
  • Engage in service towards an inclusive community in the lab and beyond
  • Develop strong quantitative skills and reproducible research practices
  • For those conducting fieldwork, thrive in remote and challenging environments
​

Postdoctoral researchers

There are many funding opportunities for postdocs at UBC, including the Killam Fellowship, Banting Fellowship, Biodiversity Fellowship, Liber Ero Fellowship, and Mitacs Elevate Fellowship. These fellowships are open to candidates of any nationality. If our research interests align, please e-mail me, and I would be happy to provide feedback on proposal ideas and materials if it seems like a good mutual fit.

Graduate students

​Graduate students can join the group through either the UBC Zoology Department (MSc or PhD) or Botany Department (MSc or PhD). More information on graduate funding opportunities at UBC can be found here.

I anticipate taking a new graduate student to begin in September 2026. If you are interested, please complete this form here. I will be reaching out to those who seem like a good mutual fit.
Advice for graduate students
Here are some great websites that have compiled and created resources for prospective and current students:
