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

Undergraduates

At the moment (April 2025), the lab is full in terms of undergraduate positions - but there will be more opportunities to work in the lab in the future, at which point they will be posted here.

[When these become available, you will 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.

  • The University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

• For US citizens and permanent residents, the NSF postdoc fellowship.

• For US and non US-citizens: Life Sciences Research Foundation.

• For EU citizens: Marie Curie Global postdoctoral fellowship.

• Other postdoc fellowship funding resources:
