AVAILABLE POSITIONS

GRADUATE STUDENTS

Graduate students in the lab are expected to develop into independent scientists by designing and leading their own research projects. While each student’s work is grounded in the lab’s broader interests in translation regulation, stress responses, and viral infection, projects are shaped around individual curiosities and career goals. Students receive mentorship in experimental design, data interpretation, and scientific communication, with the expectation that they will take ownership of their projects from conception through publication. Our aim is to provide graduate trainees with both the technical expertise and intellectual independence needed to pursue successful scientific careers.

Prospective graduate students should apply to Boston University through the Program in Biomedical Sciences (PiBS)

UNDERGRADUATE
STUDENTS

Undergraduate students are always welcome in the lab. Effectively learning bench science requires a sustained commitment of time and effort to master experimental techniques and to contribute meaningfully to ongoing projects. For this reason, we encourage undergraduates who are interested in research to plan for multi-semester involvement whenever possible and for >10 hours of work per week. Students in the lab gain hands-on experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell culture, and are integrated into active research programs on translation regulation, stress responses, and viral infection. Motivated students have the opportunity to present their work at lab meetings and local research symposia, and may contribute to publications.
