Prospective Students

Joining our lab: If you are interested in joining our lab, please get in touch! Email ptownsend@wisc.edu a copy of your resume or CV and an outline of your background and interests. Prospective researchers should also examine the research we conduct and read representative publications. We are always seeking motivated graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. We also welcome undergraduate students interested in possible research projects.

For prospective graduate students: please familiarize yourself with the department’s graduate program and expectations.

Undergraduate students seeking experience in a lab will find that we are an active lab and are often hiring for the school year and for the summer.  Please email (Phil or Joel) for more information about current needs and openings.  Lab work is flexible and can be fit to your schedule.
