Join The Lab?

Please contact Greg to discuss possibilities if you are interested in working in the lab as either an undergrad, graduate student or postdoc. I am open to both collaborative research and supervision of independent research projects on a variety of ecological, evolutionary and behavioral topics (see Research page).

Why should you consider joining the lab?

Work in cool places.


Pat works his radiotelemetric magic at Dinosaur National Monument.

Meet exciting people.


Cricket crew with Jack Kerouac (and Jack Daniels)-inspired guests.

Enjoy exotic foods.


To eat Mormon crickets is to know Mormon crickets.

Accessorise your wardrobe.


Gabe brought a wig collection to the field.
Why? Great question.

Get a mullet!


Sometimes a mullet wig just doesn’t cut it.

Cricket
