We are always recruiting new members that are passionate about evolutionary biology! While all of the funded research technician and postdoctoral positions in the lab are full, I encourage anyone interested in a postdoctoral position to contact me (nicholas.kooyers@louisiana.edu). We are always looking for new masters or PhD students to take advantage of numerous well-funded fellowhships at UL. The next semester that I am planning on taking students is Fall 2022. Again, contact me for more information.
