I am interested in showing you the fantastic world of biology and our place in it. I want to introduce you to the skills and information you’ll need to be a biologist, as well as to general skills you could use if you go on to use biology as the basis for another career. Biology is not about learning a bunch of facts that others have generated – it’s about weaving current knowledge into your own research to explore the living world. It’s about asking exciting research questions and going out and getting the answers; extending both the depth and breadth of our understanding of the world around us.
The McArthur Behavioural Ecology Lab is located in the Heydon-Laurence Building on Sydney University’s Camperdown Campus.
I encourage prospective students interested in a PhD, Masters or Honours research project to contact me.
