To apply, please send a letter of interest, CV, transcript (unofficial is fine), and contact information for three references to Dr. Liz Mandeville, [email protected]. Review of applications will begin immediately. Please apply by December 15, 2025 for full consideration.

NMU is located in Marquette, Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Marquette is a small but vibrant city on the southern shore of Lake Superior, located close to beautiful natural areas. It’s a great place to live and work, and the proximity to many of our field sites is an advantage.

The Mandeville Lab is an inclusive environment that supports researchers with diverse identities, and encourages applications from students who are members of historically excluded or marginalized groups.

All projects will involve analysis of high resolution genomic data. No prior computational experience is required, but applicants must be enthusiastic about building their computational skills.

Candidates interested in evolution, fish biology, ecology, genetics, conservation, or related fields are encouraged to apply. Desired qualifications include strong writing skills, excellent critical thinking, and the ability to balance working independently and collaboratively.

Research in our lab focuses on how evolutionary processes shape freshwater fish biodiversity. Possible focus areas include hybridization, effects of anthropogenic disturbance, population connectivity, and fish sex determination mechanisms.

I signed up for the Noquemanon Ski Marathon- hopefully we get enough snow for it

Ooh nice. I have been looking forward to ski season too

We’re trying over here!

Oh no! This usually happens for me at the end of the semester

Writing all those documents is so horrible…

This is really good advice! I always encourage people to think about the distinction between "working" and "being at work". Because once you get that boundary sorted, it's much easier to maintain balance, hobbies, relationships, etc.

Oh, I needed turtle pics today. Thank you!

Ooh let’s pick an actual time!
