We’re always looking for new students and post-docs! Individuals interested in graduate school or post-doc opportunities should email me with a statement of their interests and a copy of their CV and unofficial transcripts. Applications for the tri-campus EEB graduate program are open, however we are not accepting new students this year.
I will post undergraduate Research Opportunity Projects (ROP 299 & 399) and 4th year thesis opportunities (BIO481) here when they are available in mid February. Must be a current U of T undergraduate student to apply: https://www.utm.utoronto.ca/experience/ropapp
