I welcome enquiries from potential students or post-doctoral candidates.

I am particularly interested in creative persons looking to work on the population biology of modular organisms, behavior of filamentous fungi, and biodiversity and conservation biology of fungi.

A gateway to information on fellowships to support graduate work is found at:

• http://vpf-web.harvard.edu/osr/funding/fund_fas_fell.shtml

Travel to and from the Farlow Herbarium can be supported by a Friends of the Farlow Fellowship

Farlow Research Fellowships support postdoctoral research with non-vascular plants and fungi. Applications are due each fall and are similar to the applications for Mercer and Putnam awards.
