The Alfano research group is seeking a motivated undergraduate to assist with research into the molecular mechanisms of disease and the plant immune system. The position would entail 20-40 hours of work per week in a laboratory in city campus' Beadle Center during the summer semester, and 10-40 hours of work per week in the laboratory during the fall and spring semesters. The position pays $12 an hour, though it is also possible to substitute some hourly wages for credit hours (as MBIO 498) towards a degree if desired. The position would firstly focus on lab maintenance and daily tasks, with the opportunity to progress to guided experimentation and eventually independent research at the student's desired pace. Previous undergraduates have designed and conducted experiments and served as a middle-author on a research publication within the first year.
Preference will be given to undergraduates who can begin work immediately. If you are interested, please email Samuel Eastman at eastman.samuel@huskers.unl.edu.
