Subject: Undergraduate Research Positions Description: Dr. Sergei Sukharev is looking for one or two undergraduates to join his lab. We are interested in understanding the intrinsic mechanisms of mechanosensitive ion channels. We are looking to train highly motivated and self-driven students in a suite of complementary techniques to characterize mechanosensation, including genetic manipulation, bacteriology, electrophysiology, biochemistry, biophysics, surface chemistry, and others. No experience is necessary. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are interested in pursuing PhD in Biophysics, Biochemistry, or related disciplines. Our past undergraduate have won poster presentations, published papers, and gone on to pursue PhDs at top institutions such as UC-Berkeley and UPenn. Interested candidates should send their resume/CV and a brief cover letter to Madolyn Britt ([log in to unmask]) indicating their level of experience and how working in the Sukharev lab would fit in to their career aspirations.
