Undergraduate Position
May 8, 2023
The Tumbar Lab of Tissue Stem Cell Biology has two openings for undergraduate research assistants. We are looking for self-motivated freshman/sophomore undergraduate students to assist with research lab work. The primary role of the undergraduate student includes maintaining the mouse colony, performing wet lab experiments (immuno-staining, imaging, and other molecular biology experiments), and assisting in analyzing sequencing data (RNA-seq / single cell RNA-seq). By applying to this position, you can gain independent research experience, learn about cool biology, and be an author on research papers from the Tumbar lab.
Below are some specifics:
