We often have openings for undergraduate students to become involved in our lab. <\/span>Undergraduates can learn about research while earning course credit through taking an Independent Study class. This can be a good opportunity for students who are considering graduate school to see the research process up close and decide if research is something that is of interest to them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, students are welcome to volunteer in the lab to learn more about the research process without committing to the rigours of an independent study. We ask volunteers to commit to two semesters minimum in the lab. <\/span><\/p>\n

Students may be involved some or all of the following activities:<\/strong><\/p>\n
