Adolescence is a critical period of neurodevelopment characterized by high levels of behavioral and cellular plasticity which are modulated in part by the brain’s immune system. Adolescence is also when alcohol use is initiated in humans, and our lab has … Read more
We are seeking super motivated undergrads for a variety of projects in our lab. Our background, as well as, the problems we are solving combine many disciplines, including soft matter physics, biophysics, computer simulations, fluid dynamics, materials science, applied mathematics … Read more
We are seeking 2-3 undergraduate researchers, preferably juniors or sophomores but all years welcome to inquire. Some flexibility with hours is available, but committing to at least 5 hrs/week is preferred. We also prefer students who will stay for at … Read more
The Molecular Modeling Lab seeks motivated undergraduates to jump into cutting-edge AI research to accelerate early-stage drug discovery. Our lab researches novel computational methods for identifying small molecules that bind to and modulate the function of protein targets. We have … Read more
Our research group (keriaynsmith.web.unc.edu) is seeking a self-motivated undergraduate student to carry out computational research for 8-12 hours/week. We are focused on using innovative tools to understand genomic sequence that produces RNAs, but does not code for protein. These noncoding … Read more
The Social Neuroscience and Health lab is looking for a few undergraduate research assistants to fill in specific time slots. As a lab, we are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we strongly encourage students from underrepresented backgrounds in … Read more
