Research Opportunities

During the fall 2006 semester, I am teaching Advanced Evolutionary Biology, a graduate course. Next spring I will teach Evolution (PCB 4674).

I am always on the lookout for new songs to sing in class. Let me know if you have any.

There are many ways for undergraduates to get involved in research in my lab:

Volunteer work in the lab. There is often more work to be done, and if you have some time, we can probably find a place for you. This is great way to see if research is for you, show off your hard-working self to put yourself in line for future job opportunities in the lab, and get ideas for independent projects.
Independent projects for credit, through the Directed Independent Study program. To do research for credit, you first need to show me that you are likely to work hard by getting good grades or working in the lab.
Laboratory assistant positions. These are paid positions which are generally full-time during the summer and part-time during the academic year. A great way to get one of these is to volunteer in the lab, or do a DIS project.
Work-study positions. These awards subsidize part time work by students during the academic year, and I am happy to sponsor these.
