Find a FYRE Opportunity

Responsibilities include general lab maintenance and assisting graduate students and post-doctoral researchers with experiments and analysis. Student researchers will be expected to keep an organized and detailed lab notebook.

We are looking for students with an interest in animal science and/or reproductive biology. We are looking for student researchers who are detail-oriented and excited to learn new skills. Student researchers must be willing to work in a team and troubleshoot alongside others to help solve problems.

Our lab is very teamwork-oriented, as many projects need multiple sets of hands. Incoming student researchers will be working alongside a graduate student or a postdoctoral researcher to complete a project, with flexibility to answer new questions based on the student’s specific interests. We are passionate about working with students to figure out their future goals and help them obtain the skills to reach those goals. We are flexible to accommodate for student class schedules. Student researchers will also be contributing to a project that aims to improve both human and agricultural health.

Students who have worked in our lab are often co-authors on scientific abstracts and papers in peer-reviewed journals. Many of our students have been successful in obtaining jobs, internships, and have been accepted into professional programs (medical school, vet school, dental school).
