Fall/Winter/Summer 2025: Important information for applicants

Here is some important information for applicants interested in joining the lab in 2025:

1) We are not currently seeking postdocs. 

2) We are not currently seeking graduate students. 

3) We are happy to receive applications for undergraduate students, but we will only consider new undergrads for Fall 2024 and onward. If you are interested in applying for an undergrad position in the lab starting Fall 2024 please follow the instructions below.  (The deadline for Fall 2025 is May 31st.)

4) Because we are not recruiting very many people this year, Dr. Richards is not listed on the Mila website as a potential supervisor. If you still wish to apply to the LiNC Lab you may apply below, and it doesn't matter if you cannot select Dr. Richards on the Mila site (because the applications are not linked).
