Thank you for your interest in my lab at the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center.
Undergraduates: Students interested in participating in a group capstone project focused on coastal community conservation as part of Semester by the Sea are invited to send Dr. Leslie an email with the subject ‘Spring 2027 capstone.’ See the DMC website for more information on the Semester by the Sea program.
Graduate students: I am currently recruiting new graduate students to join the Ecosystem Science NRT. I also encourage you to reach out to other faculty affiliated with the School of Marine Sciences and the EES Graduate Program if you are interested in pursuing marine conservation science at the University of Maine.
Prospective postdocs
Early career scholars with expertise in the ecological and/or social sciences and a strong commitment to interdisciplinary, engaged scholarship are encouraged to contact me about potential postdoctoral opportunities focused on Maine or Mexico. Residence in midcoast Maine near the Darling Marine Center is preferred but not required. I encourage interested individuals to contact me at heather.leslie@maine.edu.
