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 10 hrs / week (incl weekends) to devote to the lab and a basic understanding of mammalian biology. Preference will be given to freshmen and sophomores. The work requires significant hands-on training, excellent record keeping, independent researching and reading, and is highly technical. We are also looking for students that are planning to stay in the lab until they graduate.
