The Muth Lab moved to the University of California, Davis, in April 2024.

Undergraduates

There are often opportunities for undergraduates to volunteer or work for credit in lab. If you are interested please download this form, fill it out and email it to me.

graduate student applications

I can currently accept students through 3 of UC Davis’ graduate groups: Animal Behavior, Entomology and Population Biology

I work on broad questions in animal behaviour and cognition, using bumblebees. Research can be lab- and/or field-based. Students will be expected to develop their own projects within the framework of general lab interests. Support will be provided by a combination of research and teaching assistantships, which cover tuition and salary (including summer salary).

If you are interested in pursuing a PhD in my lab, please fill out this form.
