If you are interested in joining us, make sure we have open positions (see below) and check out our Lab Manual to familiarize yourself with our lab culture, policies, and expectations.

PhD Positions for Fall 2025

We will not be hiring this cycle. We are always interested in taking on talented individuals but resources are limited.

If you think we should make a hiring exception, please email Michael - make sure to state that you have seen this message and to be clear about why this is your dream lab. All other emails may not receive a response, sorry.

Undergrad Research Positions

We are completely full at the moment, but you can fill out this form if you’d like to be considered for future opportunities. There is no need to further email us. You will hear from our lab manager as soon as we have space for you.

We do not currently have any bandwidth to accommodate high school students or interns.
