An undergraduate apprenticeship position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Berry Brosi at Emory University during Summer 2016 on "Development of Mixed-Sample DNA Barcoding of Pollen".
This position is within the Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program (URAP) sponsored by the US Army Research Office. Student activity will focus on understanding and correcting quantitative biases in pollen metabarcoding, including DNA extraction bias, amplification bias, and copy number bias. Students with a strong background in basic biology (including molecular biology), some previous molecular biology lab experience (including DNA extraction and PCR), a GPA of 3.0 or above, the ability to work independently and precisely, and a strong work ethic are encouraged to apply. More information about the program, and instructions for applying, can be found here: http://www.usaeop.com/programs/apprenticeships/urap/ For more information about the research project, please contact Dr Karen Bell [email protected] or Dr Berry Brosi [email protected].
