\"LabUndergraduate Students.\u00a0<\/strong>There are occasionally open positions available for undergraduates to conduct research in the Gerardo lab. An interest in evolutionary biology is a must. Students are expected to be able to work at least 10 hours in the laboratory and are expected to eventually work independently. If interested, send a one paragraph statement of your interests in biology and our research specifically, as well as a list of any research experience that you have had, to Dr. Gerardo. Freshman and Sophomores are particularly encouraged to apply.\u00a0For more information on funding opportunities, familiarize yourself with the Research Partners Program<\/a> and\u00a0SURE<\/a>\u00a0programs. It is also possible to\u00a0receive credit towards an Emory biology major<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Graduate Students.\u00a0<\/strong>Graduate students are expected to have a keen interest in species interactions and in using insects and\/or microbes as model systems. In the Gerardo lab, you will be trained in both experimental and molecular work and will be expected, with help, to develop an independent project and critical thinking skills. Graduate students will be expected to mentor undergraduate students. For more information on the application process to Emory’s programs, go to the website of the\u00a0Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences<\/a>. Dr. Gerardo’s main program affiliation is\u00a0Population Biology, Ecology and Evolution (PBEE)<\/a>. Graduate students will be encouraged to apply for funding to cover their research. Funding options include:<\/p>\n
