Open Positions
We are not actively looking for trainees. We will be recruiting 2 students in Fall 2026. An application link will be posted here. We are looking for students who have a minimum of 15 hrs / week (incl weekends) to devote to the lab and a basic understanding of mammalian biology. This also includes weekly lab meetings, journal club (attending and presenting), and participation in LWiN and LLAMA events. Preference will be given to freshmen and sophomores. The work requires significant hands-on training, excellent record-keeping and note-taking skills, a fair amount of independent research and reading, and is highly technical. We are also looking for students that are planning to stay in the lab until they graduate.
