Nature of Research Projects

Pending sufficient funds in my research grants, new projects in my lab will fall into three categories: (1) physiological mechanisms of metal tolerance in plants, (2) transfer of metals from soils to plants, and (3) plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere. 

Canadians, Permanent Residents and Landed Immigrants

• Minimum 78% average for courses taken during the last 2 years
• Minimum 80% average in courses related to plant physiology
• Relevant research experience (undergrad courses, employment and/or honors thesis)

Applicants from Outside Canada

• My current research grant is not large enough to support international students unless they hold a scholarship
• Canada has a very limited number of scholarships that can be held by international students and these are very competitive
• If your country offers scholarships that can be held in Canada, then I encourage you to apply for one

*Interested students should send a cover letter outlining their research interests and a CV via email: smacfie@uwo.ca
