Research Opportunities:
There are many opportunities for research but one of our primary areas of focus is to understand how changing climates affected the evolution animals (especially humans) and plants. My students and I collaborate with archaeologists and paleontologists in Kenya, Tanzania, and Armenia on a variety of projects. This research involves a combination of lab and fieldwork. We use a variety of techniques to reconstruct terrestrial paleoenvironments and paleoclimates including: sedimentology, stratigraphy, geochemistry, mineralogy, and soil science.
I am looking to recruit a master's student to work on a project on the Eocene of North America, starting Fall 2026. You can read a little about this ongoing work here.
This aspect of the project will focus on the Uinta Basin in Utah as a collaboration with sedimentologist Piret Plink-Björklund from Colorado School of Mines
Prospective Graduate Students:
Prospective Graduate Students:
If you are interested in applying, here is more information about the Earth and Environmental Science Department and applying to the University of Minnesota. The deadline for applications is usually in mid December. Please see the University of Minnesota's website for the most up-to-date information.
Before contacting me about graduate school please consider the following:
Think carefully about what you want to get out of graduate school and talk to current graduate students if possible to get some perspective on what graduate school is like and what the application process is like.
Read through my website and some of my publications and abstracts to get a better sense of what kind of research I do and why I do it.
Finally, email me at ebeverly [at] umn.edu to articulate what kind of research you are specifically interested in pursuing in graduate school, tell me a little bit about yourself and any prior research experience you have had, and why you are interested in working with me. Please include your CV.
I hope to hear from you, and I am really excited to get started of some of this exciting new research!

Prospective Postdocs:
Please contact me by email at ebeverly [at] umn.edu if you are interested in any of the above research opportunities or with other related research topics. I encourage potential postdocs to seek out funding from other sources such as the NSF Earth Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowship, which are currently due annually in October. Please contact me well in advance of this deadline.
