Prospective Graduate Students:

My expertise and research interests are centered on the process of local adaptation in plants, and include the subdisciplines of Plant Evolution, Genetics, Physiology and Population, and Quantitative Genetics. Students will be required to take classes and training in those areas, but will be encouraged to develop their own research interests and study systems.

The limiting factor for accepting students to my lab is funding, both for tuition and stipend. At CSU, the University charges the professors more for international students, thus the competition is higher. International students with funding in hand from their home country are encouraged to apply.

If you are interested in joining the lab, send me an e-mail at jkmckay@colostate.edu. Please briefly describe your background, major research interests and why you are interested in working in my lab.

Prospective Undergraduate Students:

We typically post openings on the Colorado State University Handshake site. Students | Handshake (joinhandshake.com)

We could always use more help during the summer field seasons (April-October).
