Prospective Undergraduate Students

Interested in working with us? You're in the right place! We do not require any prior research experience. Please send an email to Dr. O (isabella dot oleksy at colorado dot edu). We are often looking for motivated field and lab technicians, and many of our undergraduate technicians move on to work on an Honors thesis* in our lab! 

​

To makes sure your email gets Dr. O's attention please include the following: (1) Why you are interested in getting research experience; (2) an anecdote about your personal connection to aquatic ecosystems; (3) your general availability for the semester; (4) current resume and GPA. Title your email "Prospective undergrad for MLL". 

​

Note that the policy in our lab for honors students through the EBIO program is to work with our lab for at least a semester (to ensure mutual fit) and still have 2 full semesters and a summer prior to graduation. This ensures you have ample time to learn our methods, do all the appropriate background reading, analyze your data, and write your thesis. You will be advised by Dr. O and at least one member of the Mountain Limnology Lab.

Prospective graduate students

Unfortunately, we are not actively recruiting graduate students on a funded project for Fall 2026 and the application deadline for the EBIO graduate program (through with Dr. O advises) is closed. Please check back next year and check back here for other hiring opportunities.

Prospective postdoctoral researchers

Researchers interested in co-developing a postdoctoral research fellowship proposal with Bella are encouraged to reach out at least 3 months ahead of the deadline. A few programs that fit well into the work we do in the Mountain Limnology Lab include, but are not limited to:​
