POSITIONS IN BRETT JOHNSON'S LAB.
To interested prospective grads:
Hello! My Department does not accept unfunded graduate students so I only take
on students when I have the funding to support them. When seeking grad students
I generally advertise nationally, on the American Fisheries Society Job Center
page. However, occasionally agency deadlines necessitate taking on students
from a pool of existing candidates. I welcome inquiries from well-qualified
prospective graduate students and I keep a file of the best of these
applicants. You can send me the following information, in the event that
funding for new graduate projects becomes available:
1. cover letter
indicating your research interests and a statement of professional goals
2. your curriculum
vitae
3. all your
transcripts (unofficial OK initially)
4. GRE scores (unofficial
OK initially)
5. names and
contact information for 3 references
I appreciate your interest and I wish you the best in your career!
Undergraduate positions:
There are opportunities for paid
work in my lab. These positions depend on availability of funds, but I
can almost always afford to hire qualified students with Work-Study
support. Undergraduate assistants help with sample processing and
analysis in the laboratory (e.g., diet analysis, plankton sample analysis,
stable isotope analysis, otolith microchemistry) and data analysis, library
research, and report writing. There are often opportunites for field
sampling experience as well. I will post job announcements on my web page
and around the Wagar building when I have openings but if you have Work-Study
support you can contact me any time- I can likely take you on.
