We often have openings for students who wish to gain research experience by volunteering in the lab. Occasionally we are also able to hire students through work-study, or help them apply for a research experience stipend. It is also sometimes possible to get research credit as a student working in our lab.
Our students and volunteers have helped us with a variety of projects and have been involved data collection, analysis, statistics, poster presentations, and helping write manuscripts.
