If you made it to this page it means I am not actively recruiting new students for my lab at the present time. Our department has very few teaching assistantships so nearly all of our graduate students are funded entirely through research grants (but see below). Check back from time to time - I will post notices of research opportunities when they arise. I have been very successful in recruiting students via the internet in the past, so I encourage you to respond if you're interested.
If you'd like to contact me anyway to express general interest in graduate research in my lab, please do the following:
I will send you an email note acknowledging receipt of your package, and will include it with other applications I may have received for six months, or until I contact you about an opportunity. If you haven't received an acknowledgement, send me an email - it may mean the package never arrived.
If you have a truly excellent
academic record there are opportunities at Michigan State University
for fellowship support, particularly for PhD students. In this case the
requirement for me to generate my own funding to support you is greatly
reduced. If, upon reviewing your package, I believe you are a strong
candidate for a fellowship, I will contact you immediately.
Applications for the fellowships are normally submitted in January.
Three of my former students, Steve Haeseker, Amber Peters, and Gretchen
Anderson, were fellowship recipients. Overall our department has
been very successful in receiving these awards.
