Our lab is keen to recruit passionate students interested in insect (more generally animal) behaviour, ecology, and evolution. Research in our group mainly focuses on one of the following fields:

- the function and evolution of animal colouration and related behaviours
- anti-predator defence
- predator-prey interactions
- evolutionary processes that maintain variation and generate diversity in nature

Prospective graduate students
The main requirements for pursuing MSc or PhD degrees (and having a fun and productive time) are enthusiasm for studying insects (other taxa are also welcome, as long as there is a good reason to explore them) and good English communication skills. The process is competitive and the lab prefers self-motivated and independent candidates. The MSc and PhD opportunities depend on the lab's current funding status. If you are interested, please contact me at the below e-mail address.
There are many scholarship programs for international candidates as well (see https://oia.snu.ac.kr/page/scholarships.php for more information)

★★★The applicants should contact me at least before either the end of August for the spring semester or February for the fall semester. Earlier contact is preferred. The official (university) admission process starts in early April and October. You also need a TEPS or TOEFL score by then (see https://admission.snu.ac.kr/graduate/general/notice).

Main opportunities for undergraduates
- Research assistant during semesters or summer vacation
- Undergraduate research program for SNU students (https://liberaledu.snu.ac.kr/node/51)

Postdocs
Several funding programs exist for national and international postdocs (mainly through the National Research Foundation of Korea). ​
