Prospective graduate students (not accepting 2023)

- Prospective graduate students: we are not accepting students in 2023 (we have 4 graduate students already). For the future, we admit students to the University of Oregon who wish to start their graduate programs through the Institute of Ecology and Evolution.
- We do not require prospectives to have a strongly quantitative background, only enthusiasm and willingness to learn.
- If you are interested in joining the lab as a graduate student please email PI Ponisio:
- 1) Your cv, including you past research projects (REU, field technician, honors thesis, etc. ) and your role in them, any awards, grants, publication and presentations
2) A summary of your research interests and how they fit with the Ponisio lab
- We evaluate applicants based on research interest fit, academic preparation, scholarly potential, contributions to diversity/equity/inclusion.
- Very competitive candidates for the institute and lab will rant "high" in the below rubric (except with "alignment with program" fitting our lab mission/training specifically).
