Postdoctoral

There are no postdoctoral opportunities with pre-existing funding available at this time. Please check back later. However, I am always open to collaborating on applications for externally funded fellowships. See note below.

Graduate

Starting in Fall 2024, I will be joining the Economics Department at the University of Wyoming. Prospective graduate students should check out their website for application instructions.

Undergraduate

There are not currently any grant-funded undergraduate opportunities in the lab, but there could be in the future, so please check back later. I am also happy to support fellowship applications for funding undergraduate research (see below). I am also open to advising honors projects. Please email me if interested. There are no volunteer opportunities in the lab, as I strongly believe researchers should be paid for their work.

Fellowships

I am always open to supporting external fellowship applications from motivated prospective postdocs and students (graduate or undergraduate) who are interested in joining the lab. Please email me if you are interested in preparing a proposal to work in the lab.

Contact Tips

When emailing me about opportunities in the lab, please include:

1. A brief description of your background and broader career objective(s).

2. A short pitch (a couple sentences) of an idea you would like to work on here.*

3. Why you think the lab/CU would be a good fit.

4. Your current CV.

*I won't consider your pitch an ironclad commitment to that idea. You are welcome to revise it or change it later. In fact, this is very likely to happen, in my experience. The point of the pitch is mostly to see how you form research questions, and what your broad interests might be.
