Studies have shown that women and people of color may be less likely to apply for opportunities unless they meet every one of the qualifications listed. We would encourage you to apply for an opportunity at our lab even if you don’t believe you meet the qualifications. We look forward to hearing from you!

For Students: The IPHY Department has great resources for students of diverse backgrounds on their website. Scholarship resources can be found here.

Apply as an Undergraduate Student

Research Volunteer
Our team includes undergraduate students with a strong background in physiology or biochemistry. Undergraduate students may join the lab as volunteers to gain experience in a research environment; activities include conducting research sessions, sample processing, database management, performing literature reviews, and attending lab meetings. Please know that undergraduate members of the team are expected to commit to at least ten hours per week for at least two academic semesters; this commitment makes it possible to complete the complex training requirements of an integrative physiology research lab.

If you are interested in applying to work with us as an undergraduate student, please fill out our application form. If you have any questions, feel free to email our lab.

Honors Thesis Trainee
Dr. Seals supervises honors theses for undergraduate students with a strong background in physiology or biochemistry, who wish to pursue independent research, and who are on track to meet the departmental honors requirements. To perform an honors thesis in the IPA Lab, the undergraduate student must: (1) have at least one semester of volunteer experience in the lab, and (2) have discussed research project plans with, and received approval from, Dr. Seals and other supervisors in the lab.
