Joining the Lab
I welcome students and other
researchers into the lab and
frequently have positions available. Diversity in the lab is valued!
Below is some general information for undergraduates,
graduates, and postdoctoral scientists. We
value diversity and encourage broader participation in science.
Undergraduate Students
I enjoy bringing undergraduates into
the lab and have had
students whose commitments range from part-time job to leading and
publishing
new research in an international journal.
Undergraduates will generally be associated with ongoing
research
conducted by graduate students or postdocs.
After initial training, undergraduate students are
encouraged to develop
their own research projects. Undergraduates
interested in joining the lab should send me (darrel.jenerette@ucr.edu)
an
email describing their interests and background at any time. We can discuss potential
opportunities. I
will hire up to 2 new students for the
summer 2019 field season. UCR
has
several fellowship programs that can provide further funding
opportunities for
undergraduate research.
Graduate Students
I am currently recruiting 2 student for the 2018-2019 application period. I am looking for students to lead and participate in project examining interface between landscape and ecosystem ecology in southern California.
If the research conducted in the lab
is interesting to you
and you are looking into graduate programs, please contact me (darrel.jenerette@ucr.edu). In your letter, please
include your background
information and research interests. My
group investigates a broad range of ecosystem types including
unmanaged,
agricultural, and urban lands. Our
work is linked through an emphasis on a common set of theory (landscape
and
ecosystem ecology), and applications (sustainability). Most
projects combine aspects of trace
gas exchange measurements, remote sensing,
inventories, and modeling; however, we are flexible in approaches and
work to use the best method to answer a specific question. The work is interdisciplinary and
collaborative. We publish high quality research and
generally enjoy
ourselves while doing it. I
accept students through the Botany and Plant Sciences program and
Ecology, Evolutionary, and Organismal Biology program at UCR.
Postdoctoral Scientists
I am recruiting a new postdoc - an ad is here. I also welcome interest in developing proposals for new funding to support postdoctoral research. If you are interested in joining the lab follow details provided in specific announcements or more generally send me (darrel.jenerette@ucr.edu) an email with your interests and background. I welcome opportunities to work with interested candidates in developing postdoctoral fellowship proposals.
