Prospective masters and PhD students who are interested in joining the Duda Lab should contact Tom Duda by phone or email as soon as possible to discuss research interests, opportunities for dissertation projects, the EEB department, and life in Ann Arbor. EEB has a very attractive graduate student support package and additional funds for research and fieldwork are available internally not only from EEB, but also from the Museum of Zoology and the Rackham School of Graduate Studies.
We have already had a number of fine undergraduate students conduct studies in our lab and can usually accommodate two or three students each semester. Currently enrolled University of Michigan undergraduate students should contact Tom Duda by phone or email to discuss opportunities for engaging in an independent research project in the Duda Lab. The research project can be designed to satisfy the thesis requirement of the Biology Honors Program or students can obtain credits for Independent Research (EEB 300).
Undergraduate students participating in the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program and non-UM undergraduates participating in the Summer Research Opportunity Program are also encouraged to discuss research opportunities with Tom Duda by phone or email.
Prospective postdoctoral research associates should contact Tom Duda by phone or email to discuss potential research projects and the availability of positions.
Undergraduate students from the University of Guam (UoG) and the American Samoa Community College (ASCC) who are interested in engaging in research activities with the Duda Lab in Guam in the summer of 2008 and American Samoa in the summer of 2009 respectively should contact Tom Duda by email or phone. Funds are also available to bring students from UoG and ASCC to the University of Michigan to conduct a short term, independent research project in the Duda Lab during 2009 and 2010.
