| Postdoctoral opportunities
There are potential opportunities for recent PhDs with suitable research interests and backgrounds to join my lab. Applicants are particularly encouraged to apply to WHOI's Postdoctoral Scholarship programs to secure postdoctoral support. WHOI also honors a number of foreign postdoctoral fellowships. Interested applicants should secure their own support and submit a letter of interest.
Graduate study in the Laney laboratory
There are currently no funded projects in my lab that involve graduate research.
Students interested in pursuing a PhD in my lab should review tha requirements of the MIT/WHOI Joint Program and email me with their CV and a list of research interests. For qualified students we can then discuss how you might fit into ongoing research in my lab and which of the various national graduate scholarships you might apply for.
Summer opportunities for graduates & undergraduates
There are two ways you can join the Laney lab for an internship while formally enrolled as an undergrad at your own college or university:
1) Apply for the WHOI Summer Student Fellowship. The SSF program is a highly competitive and well regarded summer research program for talented undergraduates. It lasts 10 weeks and comes with a good stipend and considerable opportunities for students looking to expand their backgrounds in marine science. If you are interested in applying for an SSF to work in my lab for a summer, contact me with your interests and a CV and I will let you know if a suitable match might be made for a summer project.
2) Apply to join my lab as a Guest Student. Guest students can visit any time of the year for any duration that is acceptable both for me and for the student's own home institution. This is typically a volunteer position and no stipend is associated with a standard guest student employment. Students with internship support provided by their home institution can use such support at WHOI to conduct a guest student visit.
