I am not likely to recruit a Ph.D. student for Fall 2026 because of the current size of my lab. If you are very interested, feel free to reach out and we can discuss potential fellowships. I accept students through the graduate program in Plant and Microbial Biology as well as the graduate program in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior. Both programs have excellent funding and a vibrant graduate student community. Unfortunately, I am unable to take students interested in a masters degree because our graduate programs only support Ph.D. students. If you are interested, or would like to learn more, please contact me at moeller [at] umn [dot] edu and I’m happy to talk.
