Contact Information

I'm happy to talk to potential graduate students about projects, or other researchers about collaborative projects. My contact details are:

Dr Phil Lester
School of Biological Sciences
Victoria University of Wellington
P.O. Box 600
Wellington, New Zealand
E-mail: Phil.Lester@vuw.ac.nz
Phone: +64 4 463 5096
Fax: +64 4 463 5331

If I have any funding for graduate student scholarships, I will advertise such information here. Potential students will need a scholarship to cover living expenses, though I can often fund the costs for carrying out individual projects. The university has a scholarships database and information on living expenses here in New Zealand. This information is available here. Note that the competition is often intense for many of the scholarships, so you'll need good grades.

Phil.
