Prospective students
I am always interested in talking to prospective
students and I encourage you to send me a letter or e-mail stating your
interests and attach a copy of your CV or resume.
I look for bright, energetic and committed students with a passion for their
particular area of research. All of my students are grant funded and I am
generally able to accept about one student per year. Thus, positions are
competitive and strong GPA, GRE’s, and letters of recommendation are typically
required. Many students in my lab have been successful in wining competitive
fellowships. For full consideration for MSU-sponsored fellowships, full
applications are required to the Department of Entomology by December 15 for admission the following fall. For
other deadlines (EPA STAR and
NSF pre-doctoral) see the individual agency websites. My current students are a great
source of information about the lab and I encourage you to contact them for
more information. – Doug.
Undergraduate research
I occasionally post opportunities for undergraduate research on MSU's Venture page, or you can contact me
directly. We begin interviewing
undergraduate research assistants for summer work in February each
year. For details, contact my lab manager, Julia Perrone.
