Graduate Students

PhD students interested in joining the lab must be accepted by the IGG or BMCDB Graduate Programs and carry out a laboratory rotation.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduates typically start out in the lab carrying out lab maintenance duties such as dish washing, media preparation and strain maintenance, and then progress to helping a current member with a research project. Students can participate via work study or for class credit. Availability varies – we are currently full (Fall 2025 through Winter 2026) but may have positions in Spring or Summer 2026.

Postdoctoral Researchers:

Those interested in the lab can send a pre-inquiry to Lesilee Rose at lsrose@ucdavis.edu. We are especially interested in recruiting people with prior C. elegans experience or biochemical experience.
