Interested in joining?
Prospective students- Thank you for your interest! mentoring is one of my favorite parts of my job. I work closely with students that seek a graduate degree for either academic or industry positions.
My graduate students are supported through a variety of opportunities including Research Assistantships (RAs), where they work with me on a specific research project, and Teaching Assistantships (TAs) where they help professors teach courses. All UW-administered RAships, TAships and Fellowships provide a stipend, personal health insurance and tuition remission.
I advise graduate students in the Geography Department which offers interdisciplinary, rigorous academic training. For an overview of these programs, please consult the program web pages. For more specific questions about application procedures, funding, acceptance rates, etc. please contact: Marguerite Roulet, Director of Graduate Programs, maroulet@wisc.edu
In addition, I highly encourage prospective students to apply for independent funding through external fellowships including the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (U.S. students only), Fulbright, etc.
If you’d like to further explore opportunities to work with me, please contact me through email and include:
1) Your research/area interests.
2) Brief overview of your background & major/GPA.
3) Your resume or CV.
