General
information for students interested
in applying to the Peterson Lab
I usually accept students who will be connected with a specific
research project. The Forestry & Environmental
Resources Department has fellowship opportunities for
prospective graduate students who have a truly excellent academic record. If
I believe you are a strong candidate for one of these fellowships, I
will contact you immediately
If you'd like to contact me to express general interest in graduate
research, please do the following:
1. Send me an email or describing your academic and professional
background and why you are interested in working in my
lab. Please outline your learning and research objectives as a
graduate student and your professional goals.
2. Submit an up-to-date resume.
3. Submit a copy (unofficial is fine) of your most recent transcript or
summarize your undergraduate (and graduate if you already have a
graduate degree ) courses and grades.
4. Submit your GRE scores if you have taken them.
I will send you an email note acknowledging receipt of your materials,
and will include it with other applications I receive, or I
may contact you about an immediate opportunity. If you haven't received
an acknowledgement, send me an email.
