Information for potential graduate students and postdocs

I am always interested in discussing research opportunities with potential graduate students and postdocs interested in behavioral development, behavioral genetics, and behavioral plasticity. Interested prospective graduate students and postdocs should contact me at ewesterm@uark.edu. Detailed information for the departmental application process can be found here.

Information for undergraduate students interested in research

I accept ~2 undergraduate students into my lab every year. Please check out my Undergraduate Research page for details on undergraduate research in the lab and how to get involved.

I believe that scientific inquiry and advancement is enhanced by diversity. For those interested in joining my lab who are not native english speakers, here is a link to the language requirements for the University of Arkansas 

The Westerman Lab is committed  to enhancing academic diversity through diversifying our literature cited sections and our syllabi, welcoming those who are different from ourselves, and amplifying the research of those historically underrepresented in STEM.

Interested MSc and PhD students- I also suggest reading “Some Modest Advice for Graduate Students” by Dr. Stephen Stearns
