Assitant Professor

 

A message for prospective students

For Graduate Students:

I am looking for potential Graduate students who understand my research interests, have read my publications, and have their own ideas as to where my research efforts should be directed. Individuals applying to my laboratory do not have to be experts at the molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics techniques that we utilize day to day, but they must understand the theory behind them and their application. These individuals must also work well with a diverse group of young scientists and work extremely hard to finish their NMSU research education.

Graduate students are required to complete and submit an internationally recognized Journal article before graduation from my laboratory!

A Masters thesis should generate at least one first author publication.

A Ph.D. thesis should generate at least two first author publications.

 

Applications:

Graduate students can apply to work in my laboratory through the Biology Department, or through the NMSU Graduate Program in Molecular Biology.

I insist that you contact me directly via e-mail while applying!

All students: When you contact me please add a statement (approximately one page) on your scientific interests and why you want to work in my lab. This is your chance to show me the level of your interest in my research and demonstrate some creative thinking (copying and pasting from this homepage won't help you).

 

For Undergraduate Students:

I encourage all NMSU undergraduates to get "hands on" training in the sciences. I am looking for individuals who are willing to begin under the guidance of Graduate students. This association should eventually allow the undergraduate researcher to find a niche for themselves for independent research efforts. An undergraduate project tends to be part of a larger whole, but I make every effort to include credit for their work in presentations and publications.

How far you go in my laboratory depends solely on your individual work ethic and leadership.
