We are always eager to work with students, but are currently not accepting applications from graduate students. If you are an undergraduate at JCU and interested in exploring the function of biofluorescence in salamanders, please consider contacting Drs. Anthony and Hickerson (canthony@jcu.edu; chickerson@jcu.edu). Please note that we are currently focused on how and why organisms are biofluorescent. We are not currently pursuing questions related to conservation of amphibians. Here's a great primer on how to write a cover letter that you should have a look at. It will be helpful when sending out inquiries to ours and other laboratories: https://contemplativemammoth.com/2013/04/08/so-you-want-to-go-to-grad-school-nail-the-inquiry-email/
