PhD students
Undergraduate students
We usually have a handful of undergraduate students working in the lab, supervised by postdocs or graduate students. If you are interested in doing research with us, the best way to start is to take the Population Genetics course (BICD 156) or the Evolution of Infectious Diseases course (BIEB 152) that Sergey teaches. If you think that you know enough about evolution without taking these courses, contact Sergey with your CV, transcript and a brief description of your interest in the lab.
High school students
We often take 1 or 2 exceptional high-school students as summer interns. A minimum pre-requisite is to know and be able to explain Darwin's theory of natural selection. If you are one such student and are interested in a summer internship position, contact Sergey with your CV, transcript and a brief description of your interest in the lab. We begin recruiting people for these positions in February and make final decisions by May. So, send your application early.
