Interested in conducting research in our lab?
Undergraduate
We are very interested in having motivated Clemson undergraduate students participate in wildlife research in our lab. There are frequently opportunities to join small, problem-based learning classes of up to 6-12 students where we focus on a specific question or task. Please reach out to Dr. Jachowski early on so we can reserve a spot for you in one of our "Creative Inquiry" courses.
I also occasionally have openings for individual project technicians and independent study. Before contacting me about these types of opportunities, take a close look at our research directions and make sure it fits your interests. If you think you may be interested, send me a resume and a short email describing your interest and we will find a time to talk about opportunities.

Graduate
For graduate students, I have the general philosophy that if I cannot develop the support for a student or they cannot come with funding, the chances for working in my lab grow progressively dim. This is due to the fact that Clemson can only support a limited number of students through teaching assistantships, combined with the expense of field-based research that my lab undertakes.
Therefore, there are essentially 3 primary ways to getting funding and joining my lab as a graduate student. First, if I start a project that has funded graduate positions and at least partial funding for the expensive field activities (I will post these positions on the Texas A&M job board). Second, enterprising and motivated students can develop graduate projects with employers such as government agencies, secure some funding, and then team up with me to initiate the project. Third, I encourage exceptional students to apply for NSF's Predoctoral Fellowships that would support research with me.
I am happy to work with students on developing funding proposals for research they are passionate about. However, before contacting me, take a close look at our research directions and make sure it fits your interests. If you are still interested, please draft a short letter outlining your experience and interest in a topic, potential collaborators and funding sources, and send it to me along with a copy of your CV. I will only respond to proposal ideas that are a good match for my schedule and interests.
Post-doctoral
At the post-doctoral level, I am especially interested in supervising people with strong skill sets in writing and statistics. I advertise open, funded post-doctoral position on Texas A&M job board. I am also willing to assist strong candidates in developing proposals and to look for potential funding sources. Send me an email describing your interests along with a CV and we can find a time to chat.
