Undergraduate Research Position: in the lab of Nancy Moran (Ecology & Evolutionary Biology) in the Life Sciences South building on the main campus. There are about 20 people working in the lab, including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, technicians, and undergraduate researchers. More about the lab can be found at http://eebweb.arizona.edu/faculty/moran/. Undergraduate researchers learn basic molecular methods, experimental design, and other biological techniques such as microscopy. Computer-oriented students can develop a project in DNA sequence analysis. Students have the opportunity to develop their own projects once they have mastered basic skills. Applicants must be able to work 20-40 hours/week during summer, during normal weekday hours.
