Diversity and inclusion are more than just words for us. These are central in guiding how we come together as a research team, cultivate excellence, and go forth into the world to share our discoveries and our love of our work. If this sounds good to you, then please inquire about joining the lab!
I have relocated to the University of Cambridge. Please note that I will no longer be based at the University of Florida and cannot take new students and postdocs through UF. If you are interested in a MPhil or PhD program at the University of Cambridge, UK, please get in touch. See below how to apply.
Prospective graduate students
Are you considering starting an MPhil or PhD? We can help organize projects and assist you with your application for funding. Note that most deadlines for funding fall between October and early January, with funding deadline for international applicants falling earlier. Note that an M.S., MSc, or MPhil degree or equivalent research experience is typically needed to receive funding for the University of Cambridge PhD program in Zoology.
If you are a British citizen, please contact Prof Miller ([email protected]) by 15 October. Include your CV, a cover letter, and an unofficial transcript of your grades/marks. I am particularly interested in how you came upon an interest in behavioural ecology and evolution, your previous research experience in these areas, and how you see working with me will benefit your career. Please note that no prior experience working with insects is required. Instead, I would like to see evidence that you think broadly about the important and timely questions in our field.
International applicants, please send your materials by no later than 1 September. Gates Cambridge has a very limited amount of funding for PhD applicants from abroad. Note that the deadline for U.S. applicants for the Gates Cambridge funding is mid-October each year.
Postgraduate Open Days are held every autumn to help potential applicants learn about the program.
Admission into the graduate programs is handled separately from the awarding of funding, and receiving funding to support your postgraduate work is highly competitive. Learn more here.
When paid postdoctoral positions are available, they will be advertised here.
I am looking to recruit independently funded Research Fellows to my group. I can help you with every step of your application, starting with brainstorming ideas for your proposal. Please send an email to [email protected] to discuss possible research directions.
The Zoology Department is an excellent place to hold a research fellowship because research fellows in the Department are treated as full members of the Academic Staff with numerous opportunities for professional development. In the last decade, almost every independent research fellow who has worked in the Department has subsequently secured a permanent academic position, either at Cambridge or at another university.
