The lab offers research opportunities to undergraduates on and off campus. We are not actively seeking new graduate students but are willing to consider exceptional candidates with backgrounds in nutritional and isotopic ecology or related areas of neoecology/paleoecology. Anyone admitted as a graduate student is expected to work to the fullest of their capabilities. The academic job market is sufficiently difficult that there is little point in joining the lab if you do not expect to become a world leader in your area of research. Anything less will put you at a serious competitive disadvantage, and is simply not good enough. Graduate students generally take classes in the departments of anthropology, ecology and evolutionary biology, geology, and integrated physiology. Most graduate students undertake field and museum research in South Africa and other African countries.
