Unless specified, all positions in my group are open to Canadian citizens and international applicants. It is useful to note whether an applicant is a Canadian citizen/permanent resident or international because some grants and award opportunities are based on residence status.

We welcome applicants of all genders, races, sexualities, religions, those with disabilities and neurodivergence, those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and those with family obligations. We aim to create a workspace where all feel welcome and comfortable to be themselves, understanding that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for different people with different life experiences. Edmonton is a great, progressive city to live in at lower cost-of-living than most cities of its size in Canada. The University of Alberta is situated on Treaty 6 territory, traditional lands of First Nations and Métis people. The North Saskatchewan River, which is only a few hundred meters from the chemistry building, is an important traditional gathering place and transportation route for many Indigenous peoples.

I will not respond to emails from potential students or postdocs who don’t tailor their email to me and state why they’re interested in my research program in particular.
