Information for Prospective Students |
||
| This past year (2007-08), four students in my lab graduated. So there is room for new graduate students to pursue laboratory or field projects in physiology and functional morphology. The Department of Biology at UL Lafayette offers both M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology. For research and teaching, our students can draw on animal care facilities, extensive laboratory equipment, the microscopy center, museum collections, and library holdings in anatomy, physiology, and herpetology. Our graduate students gain excellent experience with developing and conducting independent research projects, with presenting research results at scientific conferences, and with publishing scientific papers. Our doctoral graduates have been highly successful in finding research or teaching positions in their fields of interest. To find out about getting involved in my lab, please feel free to contact me at: Brad Moon, Department of Biology, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette LA 70504-2451,Telephone: (337) 482-5662, E-mail: BradMoon_Louisiana.edu (be sure to replace the underscore with @ in this e-mail address). |
