Graduate Students
I am no longer recruiting new students at the University of Guelph, as I have moved to Northern Michigan University. Students interested in Master’s positions at Northern Michigan University may contact me at any time.
We recruit applicants with strong background in evolutionary biology, ecology, genetics, or related fields. Desired qualifications include the ability to balance working independently and collaboratively, excellent work habits, and strong writing skills. All projects will involve generating high resolution genomic datasets that require computational approaches, including programming and high performance computing. No prior computational experience is required, but applicants must be willing to learn and excited about building their computational skillset. The Mandeville lab aims to promote and support diversity in STEM, and encourages applicants from underrepresented groups to apply.
To inquire about positions in the lab, please send a letter of interest, CV, and transcript (unofficial is fine) to Dr. Liz Mandeville, lmandevi@nmu.edu.
Undergraduate Students
Note that no University of Guelph undergraduate positions are available. All current opportunities would be at Northern Michigan University.
Undergraduates play a vital role in the lab group, and work on a variety of field, computational, and laboratory-based projects. Research for credit is usually available; paid positions are sometimes a possibility too. Students interested in working in my lab should email Dr. Liz Mandeville (lmandevi@nmu.edu). Please describe your motivations for pursuing a position in my lab, including how research experience fits with your broader goals.
