Recruitment of Students and Postdoctoral Researchers
Undergraduate Students
I often hire undergraduate research assistants to work on a variety of projects.
This includes opportunites for full time summer positions and some part time opportunities during the term.
Most projects will involve some programming so familiarity with the basics (CS1620) are likely essential.
Otherwise the precise background needed will vary by project, some projects are primarily programming, others involve more theoretical research.
Interested students should contact me for more information.
Students interested in summer research opportunities should keep in mind funding opportunities
such as Chinook Summer Research Award
or NSERC-USRA.
Masters Students
I am constantly reviewing applications for new M.Sc. students (even though I do not always have capacity to take on more).
Students whose research interests broadly overlap with my own, for instance if they include Number Theory and/or Algebraic Geometry, should contact me to discuss the prospect of applying.
It is very useful if initial correspondance includes a CV, (unofficial) transcript, and
any relevant information about past research or current mathematical interests.
Note: The University of Lethbridge application process requires that prospective graduate students contact me before applying.
Further information about our masters program is here.
Doctoral Students
I am interested in recruiting Ph.D. students whose research interests highly align with my active research.
Prospective students with a background in Explicit Analytic Number Theory, Algebraic Number Theory and/or Algebraic Geometry who believe their research interests align with my own should contact me to discuss the prospect of applying.
It is useful if initial correspondance includes a CV, (unofficial) transcript, information about past research, and an indication of how your interests align with my own.
Note: The University of Lethbridge application process requires that prospective graduate students contact me before applying.
Further information about our ph.d program is here.
Postdoctoral Researchers
I am interested in recruiting postdoctoral reserachers.
Though multiple funding opportunities may exist the vast majority of PDFs in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science are supported through
the PIMS-PDF program.
Ideal candidates will have both an independent research program and an interest in developing new collaborations in line with my research interests.
Due to the financial burden of supporting postdoctoral researchers options for co-supervision are highly desirable.
Where appropriate, candidates should indicate which other faculty members at the University of Lethbridge they may be able to work with.
Interested candidates should contact me directly for more information.
