We are located in the Anthropology Department at the University of Colorado Boulder. Our lab space is located in the beautiful Hale Science Hall. 

Postdocs

Our lab does not currently have any open postdoc positions, although this could change over the next year. For exceptional candidates whose skills and interests are aligned with our lab's major project areas, I would consider working together on a postdoc fellowship application that could support your position in our lab regardless. Please contact me via email if you would like to discuss this possibility.

Graduate Students

We are looking for two PhD students with a Fall 2022 admission date. Please email me directly at fernando.villanea@colorado.edu. I am happy to meet over Zoom to discuss PhD student training opportunities in several different potential areas. Funding for PhDs includes guaranteed 9-month TA stipends for 5 years, and RA stipends for the 3-month summer period through our lab.

Undergraduates

We enjoy having undergraduate student participants in our research laboratory. Our lab is interdisciplinary, so any CU Boulder major is welcome. Most accepted undergraduates have been interested in ultimately leading their own research project after a training period; doing so requires a major commitment and independent drive (note that for most projects you would need to develop computer science and bioinformatics skills), but can result in an exceptional experience.
