Prospective Undergraduate Students

Please email Liz with your resume, a list of courses you have taken, and a brief (less than one page) description of your interests (what interests you about research in the Mallott Lab?).

Prospective Graduate Students

Current WashU DBBS students interested in a rotation in the Mallott Lab - please email Liz to set up a time to chat about potential projects. Please note that I am open to informational rotations only in the 2026-2027 academic year - I do not have opennings for graduate students at this time.

Prospective graduate students should apply either to one of WashU’s Division of Biology & Biomedical Sciences graduate programs (more information can be found here), or to WashU’s Ecology and Evolutionary Biology graduate program (program information can be found here and the application link can be found here). If your interests are best aligned with the EEB program, please reach out to Liz prior to applying to discuss shared research interests. I will not be taking students through our EEB program during the Fall 2026 admissions cycle.

Prospective Postdoctoral Scientists

I do not currently have an funded postdoc positions available. I am happy to discuss applying for fellowship opportunities with prospective postdocs. Please email me with your CV, a brief statement of the proposed research, and details about the fellowship application (name, link to the opportunity, due dates).
