No minimum GPA, but only serious students please. Classes in Biology, Chemistry, and Earth Sciences will be beneficial. Some lab experience preferred [in-class experience is OK]. EaES and Biology majors preferred. Honors College Students are welcomed. Freshmen and Sophomores encouraged, with the preference for a long-term commitment to the lab. Lab manager position available. Brief Summary of what is expected from the student:
Specific expectations will vary depending on the role of the student. Students in self-driven research roles are expected to understand that their projects will be central to the activities of the lab, and that serious attention to the project is required. In general, I expect students to be in the lab for the minimum number of hours. I expect students to arrive "on time", giving advance notice for absences. Contact researcher via URE Email Webform
