Francis Ecology Lab

We are committed to making science an inclusive and desirable career-path for people of all backgrounds and we foster a welcoming and inclusive lab and classroom culture for all.

​

We believe we will learn more and produce our best science when our lab members represent a variety of backgrounds and possess a diverse array of interests. We value learning from each other, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, constructive criticism and finding balance in our lives. We support each other.

 

We are always interested in inquiries from potential undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows or associates and visiting scientists with common research interests.

 

Undergraduates

There are many opportunities for undergraduate students to get involved with our research, to conduct summer internships in the field, or to develop independent and senior thesis projects.

 

Graduate Students

Interested graduate students may apply to work with me through the graduate program of the Department of Biological Sciences. Potential students should contact Clint prior to submitting an application to our graduate program so that we can discuss interests, potential projects, and funding options.

 

Post-doctoral Fellows

We are always interested in inquiries from potential postdocs; please contact Clint! There are several potential opportunities to fund a postdoc in my lab, including NSF, Ford Foundation, Smith Fellowship, the Cal Poly Frost Postdoctoral Fellowship Program and others. We are also willing to write grants with prospective post-docs.
