Current Graduate Opportunities

Prospective students are strongly encouraged to identify a prospective supervisor prior to applying to the graduate program. In an effort to assist applicants, the Department does its best to maintain a listing of which faculty members are currently interested in recruiting students to their laboratories. While not exhaustive, this list is a good resource. Please feel free to review this listing here.
