The Dávalos Lab is open to motivated students at every level, from summer research experiences for High School students to fully-funded PhD in the E&E or IDPAS, and postdoctoral work for both domestic postdocs. Go to the Projects page to view current projects, or check out recent publications.
Eager to join the Dávalos Lab?
- A sharp and quick mind cannot take the place of hard work.
- Own your project, whether you have picked it from a range of projects available in the lab, or developed it over months of wrestling with the state of the art in ecology and evolution, it is yours to conduct.
- You will only succeed if your project motivates you enough that you can slog through the uncertainty and frustrations of scientific work.
- Your project answers questions that have not been asked before. You must have the determination to answer them.
- 95% of everything is showing up. Put in the time reading, working in the lab, analyzing data, etc. to be able to carry out your project.
High School and Undergraduate students:
- Investigate the publications and projects up and running in the lab, and find one research line that attracts you.
- Consider why you want to join a research lab. Your motivation must come from within.
