Graduate students Master’s and PhD students for Fall 2027 I am recruiting highly motivated and qualified students whose research interests align with the lab.
I am recruiting graduate students to begin in Fall 2027. I am looking for highly motivated and qualified individuals with research interests that align with the lab—which is pretty broad.
If you are a graduate student interested in joining the lab for the 2027 admission cycle, you should review graduate admissions criteria and instructions for the Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology at Texas A&M: ECCB admissions and aid.
Please note that the Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology at Texas A&M has two separate degree-awarding tracks: ECCB graduate degrees and the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology interdisciplinary graduate degree program (PhD only). Prospective students are encouraged to research these degree programs based upon their graduate study and career goals and identify the program that best suits them. Dr. White can advise graduate student lab members in either program.
Please email me to connect and discuss your fit in the lab.
