I usually accept students who will be connected with a specific research project. I typically post positions on the Texas A&M job board or the ConBio job board, depending on the focus of the research project.
The Forestry & Environmental Conservation Department may have fellowship opportunities for prospective graduate students who have a truly excellent academic record. If I believe you are a strong candidate for one of these fellowships, I will contact you immediately.
If you'd like to contact me to express general interest in graduate research, please do the following:
1. Send me an email describing your academic and professional background and why you are interested in working in my lab. Please outline your learning and research objectives as a graduate student and your professional goals. 2. Submit an up-to-date resume. 3. Submit a copy (unofficial is fine) of your most recent transcript or summarize your undergraduate (and graduate if you already have a graduate degree) courses and grades. 4. Submit your GRE scores if you have taken them.
I will send you an email note acknowledging receipt of your materials, and will include it with other applications I receive, or I may contact you about an immediate opportunity. If you haven't received an acknowledgement, send me an email.
