The Physical Mathematics Lab (PML) (Intro Video) offers a wide range of interdisciplinary problems that find motivation in very diverse fields, including soft matter, fluid mechanics, biophysics and quantum mechanics. One of PML’s themes is the study of new Hydrodynamic … Read more
The First Impressions Study investigates how the brain and body respond to first impressions by using questionnaires, blood sample analysis and fMRI scans. As a research assistant, you will help with data collection and management, and you will have access … Read more
The Pegard LAB (Applied Physical Sciences) is recruiting an undergraduate student to build an initial prototype for a portable biometric monitor. The student’s primary responsibility will be adapting our circuit design into a compact PCB board. Thus, candidates with a … Read more
The RISE (RCT for Innovating Stress-related eHealth) Study is a first-in-kind research endeavor exploring the efficacy of a smartphone-based intervention designed to prevent the onset of posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression, anxiety, and pain after sexual assault. We highly value our … Read more
We are seeking a highly motivated undergraduate interested in understanding neurodevelopmental conditions, like autism spectrum disorder. We take light sheet fluorescence microscopy images of mouse brains that recapitulate the clinical macrocephaly phenotype found in patients with the Chd8 heterozygous mutation. … Read more
How do new species form? The formation of new species – ‘speciation’ – is still not fully understood, and remains a fruitful avenue of research. Here, we propose to investigate the implication of the evolution of genetic architecture (i.e., the … Read more
We study how the NuRD complex contributes to the silencing of fetal hemoglobin. My lab uses a combination of structural biology, biophysics, and tissue culture assays to understand how proteins bind to one another and to DNA. Our goal is … Read more
Motivated undergraduate students are invited to join our Lab, the Neurocognition and Imaging Research Laboratory (NIRL) to conduct electrophysiological data acquisition for research projects. Our research examines the neurobiological underpinnings of adolescent-onset neuropsychiatric disorders using electrophysiological recordings. The student will … Read more
Our team is seeking motivated and driven undergraduate researchers with an interest in public health and water quality. Antibiotic resistant bacteria can proliferate in surface water environments such as lakes, rivers, and estuaries, and poses one of the biggest public … Read more
