The Stutchbury lab offers a collegial and friendly environment for graduate studies, where students learn the skills they need for posing interesting questions, writing manuscripts, giving conference presentations, and critical reading of scientific papers. The research emphasis is broad, covering conservation biology, ecology, and behavioural ecology of birds. Students use cutting-edge tools such as radiotelemetry, DNA testing and hormone analyses as part of their field research. The Molecular Ecology Lab is well equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for analyzing paternity and genetic variation and students with no experience are taught how to do their own lab work. Field studies are currently conducted in Ontario, Pennsylvania, Costa Rica, and Panama.

If you are interested in joining the lab please send a detailed letter of interest, your resume and contact information for three references.
