You 8 months to complete a research project and produce a thesis. This is not a lot of time. When you first arrive in the lab we will work together to decide on a focused, feasible research project that is of mutual interest to us both. You may be paired with a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow in the lab, or you may be paired directly with me! It depends on the project.
You are expected to meet with me regularly and attend all scheduled lab meetings, to review progress. This is our chance together to make sure that your project is progressing and that you will be able to complete it successfully.
You are also expected to collaborate and use the knowledge and experience of your fellow lab members: graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. We are all here to help each other learn. We are all busy but part of my lab culture is to foster collaboration and mentoring so please do not hesitate to approach fellow lab members for help. We are not here to do your research or solve your research-related problems but we can and should be able to show you where to look for solutions.
Expectations:**
Undergraduate students will contribute to at least 1 co-authored publication from their work assisting graduate students. Undergraduate students are expected to make one local presentation about their work.
