Open positions.

Postdoctoral, doctoral and undergraduate. All three open year-round.

Undergraduate research

Research — CBNS 197

  • Bench work
  • Computational biology

What you'd be doing

One to six UC Riverside undergraduates join the lab each year through CBNS 197 and take a project of their own — at the bench or on the cluster, not shadowing someone else's.

You work alongside the graduate students and postdocs on the same questions the lab is actually asking, and present what you find at group meeting like everyone else.

A former lab research assistant is now a PhD student at City of Hope.

What we're looking for

  • Required

    A UCR undergraduate

    Any stage. No prior laboratory experience is assumed.

  • Required

    At least a year, ideally more

    Karine expects a commitment of one to two years at minimum, and three to four is best. The project is real work with a real result, and that takes longer than a single quarter.

How to apply

  1. Email Karine

    Say what you'd like to work on and roughly when you're free. There is no form.

  2. Enrol in CBNS 197

    Once a project is agreed, the course is how the work is credited — you re-enrol each quarter you are in the lab.
