One Health approach to evaluate infectious diseases

Wednesday, February 4, 2026
The overall goal of our lab is to understand the interactions between different environmental factors and microbes using a One Health framework, or the shared health of humans, animal and the environment. The specific project the student will be involved with is investigating farmers' risk factor of tick-borne diseases.

Unveiling GPCR signaling in cancer and obesity: function and therapeutic options

Tuesday, February 3, 2026
The research focuses on investigating the signaling mechanisms underlying the development of obesity and breast cancer. This project offers ample opportunities for undergraduate student involvement. Depending on their experience, students may assist with lab maintenance, support experimental procedures, and receive guidance in applying for the ICRU fellowship. With substantial contributions, students may also have the opportunity to co-author manuscripts.

Social-Emotional Development from Infancy to Adolescence

Thursday, January 29, 2026
We study children’s social-emotional development from infancy to adolescence. Students in this lab have the opportunity to work on a longitudinal study to help collect data during laboratory sessions, code behavioral data from videos, and perform preliminary data management.

Analysis of neuronal morphology and calcium imaging

Tuesday, January 27, 2026
The Glykys Lab focuses on understanding how the brain’s inhibitory system operates at the cellular level and the mechanisms underlying neuronal swelling in pathological conditions. We seek a highly motivated individual interested in neurosciences to analyze neuronal calcium and size changes during pathological insults, including neurotoxic injury, using ImageJ, MATLAB, and other software and algorithms. This is an analysis position where the fluorescent images will be provided. Training will be provided. The candidate will work closely with a graduate student under the supervision of Dr. Glykys. Depending on performance, further lab activity projects are available.

Engineering Prototypes Advancing Patient‑Centered Cancer Care

Thursday, January 22, 2026
The Byrne Lab is seeking a motivated undergraduate student in Mechanical Engineering to support the development of new technologies aimed at improving the standard of care for cancer patients. This position offers hands‑on experience at the intersection of engineering and medicine, contributing to projects that directly support patient‑centered innovation.

Cognitive Control and Action Selection

The research assistants will be invited to participate in all aspects of psychological research relating to the organization of voluntary action. We are primarily interested in how individuals select their responses as they perform one or more tasks. Research assistants will run human participants in 45-minute experiments and engage in any other aspects of the research that interests them, including experimental design, programming the experiments and data analysis.

Creative Scholarship with Music-Making in Prison Contexts

Wednesday, January 7, 2026
Opportunity to work with Music Education Professor on music-making in prison contexts. Responsibilities will vary based on student interests and schedule but may include, collaborating on original music with an incarcerated songwriter, creating music videos for original songs collaborating with various artists, build social media campaigns and more.

Genetic Regulation of Endoderm Development

Thursday, December 4, 2025
We are currently seeking undergraduate students to join our research team. The students will be responsible for zebrafish care and fish genotyping and will also receive relevant training to conduct experiments. Students will have opportunities to be involved in specific projects and contribute to publications.

Gathering data and crafting stories to showcase anti-violence coalition impact ($)

Monday, November 24, 2025
This fellow will conduct interviews with current Anti-Violence Coalition (AVC) members to understand their experiences, motivations, and contributions. They will also engage in document analysis to review and synthesize existing materials produced by the AVC, including reports, meeting notes, and communications, to deepen their understanding of the coalition’s accomplishments and context. Using insights from both interviews and document analysis, the fellow will craft compelling narratives that highlight the group’s efforts and successes. These stories will be used to elevate awareness, foster engagement, and celebrate the coalition’s role in advancing anti-violence initiatives across campus and the broader community.

Cognitive Neuroscience of Human Executive Function

Monday, November 3, 2025
The Hwang lab conducts research to understand the neural mechanisms of executive functions. Specifically, we are interested in discovering the neural architecture, processes, and dynamic systems that allow brain networks to select, inhibit, transfer, and integrate information. Together, these mechanisms support many important mental functions, such as attention, working memory, response selection and inhibition. We address our research questions with a comprehensive human neuroscience approach, combining multimodal research methodologies, including fMRI, EEG, TMS, eye tracking and behavioral testing.

Developing engineering solutions to reduce infectious respiratory disease transmission ($)

Monday, November 3, 2025
We seek highly motivated students interested in developing interdisciplinary laboratory skills, including basic microbiology practices, air and aerosol sampling techniques, and analytical methods. The overall goal of our lab is to understand the interactions between different environmental factors and respiratory pathogens, and to develop engineering controls that mitigate disease transmission.

Intergenerational Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Health

Wednesday, October 1, 2025
Interdisciplinary research group explores how the contexts we live and learn in affect social, emotional, and behavioral health outcomes across the life course. Particularly interested in the family system and the role of intergenerational relationships in promoting adaptive developmental outcomes and well-being.
