Please note that I do not have any funded graduate positions (M.S. or Ph.D.) to offer at this time. If you have your own funding or are interested in jointly pursuing funding to supoort your studies, I am happy to start that conversation. However, I expect you to have ideas - and ideally a plan - for where to pursue funding from and how I can support you.
Contact guidelines
I always encourage enthusiastic undergraduates and prospective graduate students to reach out. However, I receive a large number of emails and although I do my best to respond to all, your email may slip through the cracks. To help me get back to you in an efficient manner, please do the following:
Before you send an email, review some of my recent publications and have a good understanding of my work and interests. When you send your email, please include:
Your current CV as an attachment, highlighting your ability to conduct applied and/or pure research in the forest sciences
A short (!) description of a) your background, b) your professional goals, c) a research topic that you are interested in pursuing, and d) why you are interested in FES/working with me.
Contact information for two or more references
Fellowship opportunities
I also encourage interested students to apply for any and all fellowship opportunities that are applicable. I am happy to provide support for your application and feedback on your written proposal. I see this as a great way for us to co-develop research ideas and shared interests - which is the start of a great advising relationship.
