The Beinart lab is part of University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography, located right on the coast in Narragansett, RI USA. We study the ecology and evolution of marine microbial symbioses using ‘omics, experiments, and other methods. We are an inclusive group that welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences and values collaboration, authenticity, and mutual respect.
GRADUATE STUDENTS
The Beinart lab welcomes inquiries from prospective graduate students (both MS and PhD). If interested, please send a research interest statement and CV to Roxanne Beinart (rbeinart@uri.edu).
​
For more general information about applying to graduate programs, I suggest reading these helpful articles:
Casey Dunn's Medium article "Applying to Biology PhD programs"
and the long list of blog posts about this topic on Joan Strassmann's blog Sociobiology
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS
The Beinart lab would be interested in discussing fellowship or grant writing opportunities with prospective postdocs, please get in touch!
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHERS
The Beinart lab is looking for motivated and curious undergraduate researchers to work on a variety of projects involving marine microbial symbioses. A background in biology, marine biology, computer science, bioinformatics, and/or ocean engineering would be appreciated, but is not required. If interested, please send a short research interest statement and CV to Roxanne Beinart (rbeinart@uri.edu).
