Interested in aquatic research with ECAB Lab?

There are opportunities available in the ECAB Lab for motivated students interested in pursuing an Honours degree (Env Sci or Biology) or MSc (Biology) degree. I also supervise Postdoctoral Fellows if my expertise aligns and adequate funding support is available. I work with students in both Environmental Science and Biology with a preference to mentor those who are interested in freshwater ecosystems and are considering either graduate studies or a career in science. Research projects are designed to align ECAB Lab research priorities with individual student interests and abilities. If you would like to discuss available opportunities please contact jkurek@mta.ca and share your interest and motivation for pursuing research. I cannot support “new” MSc students until May 2025.

High-achieving undergraduate students may be competitive for one of ~50 Independent Student Research Awards ($7500 plus top-up) provided annually at Mount Allison University. Graduate students in ECAB Lab are guaranteed an annual stipend of $20,000 for two years and several have been successful in earning NSERC CGS-M and NBIF funding.
