If you are looking for research experience:

We enjoy working with undergraduate students and often have several working in our lab at any given time. We welcome students from all majors and backgrounds. Most undergraduate students in the lab work directly with a graduate student, helping with the graduate student's project, but occasionally undergraduate students will work directly with me (Dr. Minor). We often need assistance in the summer with fieldwork but sometimes have research assistants working in the lab or on the computer other times of year.

There are many options for undergraduate students who are looking for research experience. Those seeking research credit can enroll in BioS 391 or BioS 399 (after discussing it with me first). We have had several students through the LASURI program, which provides a small stipend and research funding too. Students in the Honors College have done their capstone research in our lab. Once in a while we have funding to hire research assistants; those positions will be advertised here. We prefer not to take volunteers who are not registered for credit or participating in a research program but occasionally will make exceptions.

If you would to get involved with research in our lab, please send me an email ([email protected]) with the following information:
