General Information about the Lindo Lab:

My research program focuses on soil biodiversity, with particular emphasis on soil fauna, their ecology, and their role in ecosystem processes.  As a group, we study the diversity of life belowground using field-based, experimental, and taxonomic approaches, and we place a high priority on fostering an inclusive, respectful, and collaborative research environment.

I welcome inquiries from highly motivated students whose research interests align closely with soil biodiversity and soil fauna ecology.  However, positions are limited and are available only when there is a strong fit between a student’s background, research interests, and existing or developing projects.  

Due to the specialized nature of my research program, I am not able to consider students whose interests are broadly defined or not clearly focused on soil biodiversity or soil fauna.  Students without relevant coursework or research experience in ecology or biodiversity science are encouraged to pursue foundational training before contacting me.  Please also review the information below and consult Western’s Biology Prospective Graduate Student webpage to ensure that you meet the admission requirements for the MSc or PhD program.

You may email me (zlindo[at]uwo[dot]ca) with a brief description of your background, research interests, and how they align with my work.
