Get Involved!

Working with students and citizen-scientists is an aspect of my work I truly enjoy. Below you can find info on current ways to get involved in our research, and you can also email stephen.gosnell@baruch.cuny.edu about other opportunities.

Undergraduates

Students from Baruch and other CUNY colleges work in the lab on a regular basis, and we've also been fortunate to welcome visiting students from REU's or other programs. Our goal with undergraduate students is to give them a chance to experience all aspects of ecological research, from designing projects to presenting and publishing. No prior experience is necessary.

Graduates

Graduate students with similar research interests (or exciting extensions) and a desire to communicate science through outreach and teaching are welcome in the lab. Potential students should contact stephen.gosnell@baruch.cuny.edu prior to applying to the CUNY Graduate Center program in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Behavior to discuss opportunities for collaboration and mentorship. Several sources of external and internal support exist (outside grants, NSF GRFP, NDSEG, and CUNY Science Fellowships) to support study, and we're happy to assist potential students with these applications. Funding availability is a major component of the decision to accept students.
