Our labs offers 2-3 internship opportunities this fall (2014).

For a 1 (EEB) credit internship students should devote 3 hours minimum in the lab or outside the lab on an assignment.

The concept of the internship is to provide a learning opportunity for undergraduates that may lead to the development of an independent study in the spring and perhaps a fellowship for a summer internship.

We seeks students to contribute to our projects through:

1. exploring genomic data to retrieve microsatellites loci and compose datasheets to be posted on our website

2. screen genomic sequences to assemble consensus sequences for particular loci

3. extracting DNA, amplifying discrete loci and sequencing them (this project requires that students are available in 3 hour slots during the week).

 

Eligibility: Sophomores and juniors, seniors may be considered; GPA > 3.0.

 

If you are interested in these, submit your application before Sept. 5th.
