FIELD AND LABORATORY RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

I have 25 months experience in observational field research on wild chimpanzees. I have over five years of experience working in the molecular genetics laboratories of Linda Vigilant in the Primatology Department at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and D. Andrew Merriwether in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. I am skilled in all the laboratory techniques required for deriving microsatellite genotypes and DNA sequences from non-invasively collected source materials such as feces, hair, and bone.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

2007 - Present	Lecturer, International Max Planck Institute Research School of Human Origins.
2002 - 2006	Graduate Student Instructor, Department of Anthropology, University of Michigan. I served as a teaching assistant for three upper division courses in Primate Social Behavior, and one upper-division course in Human Behavioral Ecology.
2004	Direct laboratory supervisor of an undergraduate researcher in the molecular genetics laboratory in the Primatology Department at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
2002	Direct laboratory supervisor of an undergraduate researcher in the molecular genetics laboratory in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan.

PROFESSIONAL AND PUBLIC SERVICE

Ad-hoc reviewer: Animal Behaviour, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London - Series B, Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, Ethology, European Journal of Human Genetics, Folia Primatologica, International Journal of Primatology, Molecular Ecology and Primates

Photography: As part of my research at Ngogo, I take photos of chimpanzees in order to build up a database to aid in long-term identification of rarely seen individuals and to help researchers learn the individual identities of chimpanzees. I share these photos with my colleagues, and they have appeared on the covers of five journals (American Journal of Primatology, Journal of Anatomy, Evolutionary Anthropology, Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA) and one book (Feeding Ecology in Apes and other Primates, G. Hohmann, C. Boesch, & M. Robbins).
