INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS INTERESTED IN JOINING THE REMOLD LAB

UNDERGRADUATE

Undergraduate students are welcome to join the Remold lab and participate in work in a number of aspects of our research program. Such work would provide opportunities for learning tissue culture, bacterial culture, and/or molecular techniques, as well as exposure to experimental design and data analysis. Participation in lab meetings, regular maintenance chores in the lab and a minimum commitment to the lab of a full year are expected. If you are interested, contact Dr. Remold. Describe  your research interests, your goals for your undergraduate research experience, what you scientific background is, and how you fit into the Remold lab.

GRADUATE

Students interested in working on the ecology and evolution of disease organisms are welcome to contact Dr. Remold regarding graduate work. You should also check out the Program on Disease Evolution, in which most Remold lab members participate.

Although graduate student projects in the Remold lab can potentially span a range of topics, projects within Dr Remold's areas of expertise and/or study systems are most likely to yield productive results quickly. Most students will begin their work in the lab with a collaborative project within Dr. Remold's research program, thereby gaining research skills and experience. Thereafter, students will begin to identify their own “niche”, and direct the remainder of their graduate research program more independently.

Contact Dr. Remold if you are interested in doing graduate work in our lab. Describe your interests, what you scientific background is, and how you fit into the lab. Then check out the forms and deadlines for applications within the Biology Department and at the Graduate School. Dr. Joseph M. Steffen, the Director of Graduate Studies can answer questions regarding graduate studies within our department, and about the application process.
