Opportunities

Come join us!

Graduate and postdoctoral positions are filled on an ongoing basis – please write a statement of interest well before external funding deadlines (below) for the best chance at a position.

General Info

Our lab is located in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada.

Graduate student applicants are strongly encouraged to first apply for external funding such as NSERC, prior to the LFS application deadline (typically January 1).

Many fellowship deadlines occur in the fall before the application period, so you need to be organized early (e.g., September before your anticipated start). Most students apply for federal grants through their home university – if you are unsure how to apply, start with your undergraduate office team.

For prospective grad students:
