M.Sc. and Ph.D. Opportunities in the Morbey Lab

Do you love biology, the environment, and data? Are you thinking about a career in academia, government, the non-profit sector, or industry? If so, the Morbey lab may be right for you. Currently in may lab, we study migratory songbirds and their movements ecology through an evolutionary lens. Tracking birds using the Motus Wildlife Telemetry System features prominently!

I am always on the lookout for highly curious, motivated, and dedicated students, and would consider new domestic M.Sc. or Ph.D. students for a September 2023 start. M.Sc. students in my lab typically undertake a well-defined project within my research program. Ph.D. students may do the same, or they may develop their own project that is related to my research program.

Qualifications: Applicants must have an Honour's (thesis-based) B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Biology, some field experience, foundational knowledge of basic ecological and evolutionary theory, quantitative skills, a commitment to publish their work, and a readiness to take on a challenge. Applicants must be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada. For initial screening, please send me a cv, unofficial transcripts, and a letter of interest - ideally in December/January. Due to the volume of requests, only qualified candidates will be considered and contacted.
