Undergraduate Research Opportunities

Patricia Parker

E. Desmond Lee Endowed Professor in Zoological Studies

Typically, we would welcome undergraduate involvement in research projects in our lab, to partner with Research Associates or Graduate Students on studies involving the population genetics of interesting species, mostly from the Galapagos Islands. Students would usually earn Independent Study credits during their first semester of involvement. Thereafter, they may be eligible to be hired as a part-time worker if opportunities exist in the areas of their training.

Laboratory Assistance Needed for:

  1. Genetic characterization of blood parasites infecting Galapagos endemic birds

  2. Population genetics of endemic Galapagos birds.
