Join us

We are committed to fostering a community that welcomes and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We view the fundamental values of diversity, respect, fairness, and kindness in our community as inseparable from our goals as scientists. Upholding this commitment means we communicate with respect and support one another in speaking up if we think our values are being disregarded. We likewise expect all visitors to our lab to abide by these standards and help us create a safe and welcoming environment. We invite all to join us not only in our pursuit of scientific excellence, but also in our commitment to dignity, equity, and access in science.

Solidarity with our communities

As a community, it is our collective imperative to conduct the antiracist work necessary to eliminate racist rhetoric and violence.

Undergraduates

Motivated undergraduates are welcome to join current research projects or work on their own related research and senior theses. Previous students have explored topics in acoustic biology, mosquito diversity, and biogeography. Interested undergraduates should email Prof. Farrell to discuss the possibilities of undergraduate research in the lab.

We strongly encourage seeking funding to support deeper undergraduate research. Two places to learn more about funding for undergraduate research are:

Museum of Comparative Zoology

Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships

 
Graduate Students

We are affiliated with the Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (OEB) graduate program, which is part of Harvard's Graduate School for Arts and Sciences (GSAS). Please visit the OEB Graduate Program website for information about the application process. Prospective students should email Prof. Farrell well before submitting their application for the OEB graduate program.
