A Message from Dr. Calisi Rodríguez: Pioneering the Future of Green Care Research:
Greetings and thank you for your interest in the Green Care Lab! We stand at the threshold of a new era as we welcome the very first cohort of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars into our dynamic program. This marks an unprecedented opportunity for you to actively influence and contribute to the direction of our research.
In my previous endeavors, my focus primarily centered on the intricate realms of neurogenomics and neuroendocrinology, with a keen interest in stress and reproduction. However, the Green Care Lab represents a transformative shift in our approach. We've moved beyond invasive animal studies to build a program that champions the well-being of rescued animals and harnesses the therapeutic potential of our gardens. Our overarching mission? To play a pivotal role in fostering thriving, inclusive, and sustainable communities through the integration of Green Care practices. If you're curious about the "why" and "how" of this transition, you can delve into my journey here.
Graduate Students:
At the Green Care Lab, we cultivate an environment where innovation and collaboration flourish. Under my guidance and alongside a diverse academic committee of experts, you won't be handed a predetermined research agenda. Instead, you'll have the liberty to mold your academic journey. I firmly believe in a collaborative approach, where your aspirations take center stage. Whether your passion lies in animal behavior, stress physiology, behavioral neuroendocrinology, or interdisciplinary studies, our lab may offer the perfect canvas for your intellectual pursuits to thrive. Together, we'll embark on a research expedition that mirrors your distinctive vision and contributes to a brighter, healthier future for all.
Below, you'll find a non-exhaustive list of graduate programs from which I eagerly anticipate applications:
Animal Behavior Graduate Group
Geography Graduate Group
Community Development Graduate Group
Human Development Graduate Group
Landscape Architecture and Environmental Design
Agricultural and Resource Economics
Animal Biology
Avian Sciences
Child Development
Community Development
Ecology
Environmental Policy and Management
Food Science
Geography
Horticulture and Agronomy
Human Development
Maternal and Child Nutrition
Nutritional Biology
Pharmacology and Toxicology
I encourage you to explore these programs and discern which aligns most closely with your aspirations and career objectives. Subsequently, I invite you to reach out to me at [email protected]. Share your thoughts on the intellectual journey you envision within the Green Care Lab, and let me know which UC Davis graduate program(s) resonate most with your ambitions.
Postdoctoral Scholars:
To the postdoctoral scholars with a penchant for innovation and a drive to make a lasting impact, I extend a warm invitation to explore the possibilities within the Green Care Lab. Your expertise and fresh perspectives are invaluable, and I encourage you to reach out to me directly via email to initiate a dialogue on potential avenues of collaboration. Furthermore, I want to emphasize our commitment to nurturing talent and facilitating growth. As specific grant-funded positions arise, we will promptly share this information here, ensuring transparency and accessibility for prospective candidates. For those aspiring to apply for prestigious fellowships such as the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology, the Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, the UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, or other similar initiatives, I wholeheartedly encourage you to connect with me regarding sponsorship. Your ambitions align with our mission to push the boundaries of Green Care research, and we are eager to support your journey towards excellence.
