We have a new project in Antarctica!
The Shero Lab is recruiting undergraduate/graduate/post-doctoral researchers starting summer and fall 2020.
Please email [email protected] and let us know what aspects of marine mammal biology you are most interested in, and include a CV. See below for relevant detail to WHOI's student programs.

Prospective Graduate Students & Post-docs
If you are interested in marine mammal ecology --- especially with regards to energetics, and dive and reproductive physiology, check-out research topics in the lab!
All our work is highly-collaborative and we are looking for students that work well in teams. Additionally, most projects involve some/extensive field work and candidates should be happy to work in remote (& often cold) locations.
Graduate students apply to the MIT/WHOI Joint Program, which is very competitive.
The application period ends Dec. 15, but if interested in joining the lab, please contact us well in advance. We want to make sure that we can accommodate projects tailored to student interests and career goals! So please provide a brief cover letter with your interests and/or potential project ideas, and a C.V. In general, competitive applicants will have grades of mostly A's and B's with a major in Biology or a closely related field. Candidates are also strongly encouraged to apply for graduate fellowships prior to the admission process.
Some great opportunities for graduate support and fellowships include:
Post-doctoral researchers can apply for the WHOI Postdoctoral Scholarship Program, with applications due Oct. 15. An alternative is to acquire another type of fellowship (such as the NSF Biology Postdoc, Smith Conservation Research Fellowship, etc). Another funding mechanism is for us to submit an external grant with a Postdoctoral Investigator included, but this must be planned very far in advance.
