I will be moving my lab and joining the School of Integrative Biological and Chemical Sciences at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley as an Assistant Professor of Wildlife Biology starting January 2027! This position will be based out of the Brownsville Campus, facilitating collaborations and research at sites such as Sabal Palm Sanctuary, TNC Southmost Preserve, and the Gladys Porter Zoo.

I will be recruiting undergraduate students to join the lab upon arrival in the Spring 2027 semester. Additionally, I will be recruiting a funded M.S. graduate student to join the lab in Fall 2027 to work on a local (south Texas) research project. Check back for a formal position advertisement posted sometime in Spring 2027.

I’ll be excited to be back in Brownsville and part of The University of Texas System!
