The Carlson
Lab is a dynamic, productive, and fun place to work! The lab is
well equipped for intracellular and extracellular electrophysiology,
histology and microscopy, behavioral experiments, and computational
modeling. There are also potential opportunities for field work
in Africa and South America. Departmental facilities and collaborations
with other laboratories provide additional resources in areas
such as imaging and molecular biology. I welcome inquiries from
highly motivated individuals at all levels who are interested
in research opportunities in my lab. For more information, see
the appropriate subsection below.
Undergraduate
Students
There are
several options available for undergraduate students interested
in research. Enrolling in BIO
200/500 provides an opportunity to do research during the
fall or spring semester for course credit. Paid summer research
positions are available through the Summer
Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program (SURF). Undergraduate
students interested in performing research in my lab should send
me an e-mail that
briefly describes their interest in research and any previous
research experience, as well as a copy of their most recent academic
transcript. For more information on undergraduate research opportunities,
click here: http://www.nslc.wustl.edu/research/students.html.
There may
also be opportunities for work study positions in my laboratory.
Interested students should contact me via e-mail
to inquire about this possibility.
Graduate
Studies
Information
on graduate programs is available through the Division
of Biology and Biomedical Sciences. I am currently accepting
graduate students through three PhD programs: (1) Neuroscience,
(2) Evolution,
Ecology, and Population Biology, and (3) Computational
and Systems Biology. Individuals interested in graduate study
in my laboratory are encouraged to contact me via e-mail
before applying to any of these programs.
Postdoctoral
Research
Individuals
interested in postdoctoral research in my laboratory are encouraged
to contact me via e-mail
to inquire about possible opportunities.
