Opportunities

Research opportunities are available in the lab at the levels of undergraduate, graduate students, and postdocs. Those interested in graduate studies or postdoc should share a CV and a brief description as to why you want to join the lab. Additionally, all potential graduate students must first be formally accepted into a PhD program at MSU prior to joining the lab. However, feel free to contact Dr. Tommy Vo (votommyv[@]msu.edu) to learn more about the PI and the lab. 

 

Highly motivated MSU undergraduate students should be prepared to commit at least 9 hours/week in the lab to ensure a meaningful research experience. Part of that time should include Fridays (2-3pm) when we host our weekly lab meetings. Students who are interested in joining the lab should email Dr. Tommy Vo (votommyv[@]msu.edu) and include: (1) a brief description of immediate and future professional/research goals, (2) unofficial transcript, and (3) a proposed weekly schedule that can be devoted to lab research. We are only accepting students who wish to conduct research for credit (enrolled in BMB 490 or similar). 

 

Soon-to-graduate students can refer to the MSU Biochemistry Research Trainee Program for more post-graduate research opportunities.  

 

MSU is an affirmative-action equal-opportunity employer. We encourage all suitable applicants with a demonstrated strong desire and work-ethic to engage in high-quality science within a professional setting, irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic or cultural background.
