Interested in joining the lab?

We are actively seeking new graduate students and postdocs for both model organism and environmental work. Our research depends on an interdisciplinary approach, and therefore we welcome lab members from a wide variety of backgrounds, including from microbiology, genetics, bioinformatics, ecology and oceanography. There are tons of great questions to investigate out there and we are always interested in having fellow explorers!

Potential Graduate students should first examine The Department of Marine Sciences website, including courses, expectations, and the graduate handbook, then contact me at sgifford@email.unc.edu. Please include a CV and a short description of your interests.
