Welcome to our Lab

Thank you for your interest in joining The Coe Lab!

If you are interested in joining our lab as an undergraduate, graduate student or as a Postdoc, please contact Dr. Coe directly (mcoe@tarleton.edu) with your academic CV and your research ideas. As a member of our lab, I will collaborate with you to help you prepare for the next step in your career which may include:

  • gaining research experience

  • getting into graduate school (undergraduate students)

  • pursuing a Ph.D.

  • obtaining a postdoctoral position (graduate students)

  • or obtaining a faculty position or a job outside of academia (Postdoc)

We will discuss your goals and career plan and how to get there. To reach these goals, I will assist you in selecting your research questions, testable hypotheses and how to test them, writing your own grant proposals, publishing your work in peer-reviewed journals and presenting your work at professional conferences.

Next Generation Science begins here

Whether you're collecting data in the forest or refining ideas in the lab, The Coe Lab is a place for hands-on learning, deep inquiry, and shared growth. We believe science thrives in community — across disciplines, across cultures, and across generations. If you're ready to ask bold questions and grow alongside others who care deeply, we’d be honored to support your journey.
