Job Description
3057 BGS, UWO Campus
Each year, a small number of Western undergraduates assist in my lab's research; their work is highly
appreciated and contributes to the success of my own and my graduate students' research. The ideal
candidate is bright, enthusiastic, meticulous, and reliable - even mundane tasks have to be done
correctly and samples labeled accurately for our work to succeed. Our work is on ecology and
evolutionary relations of soil fungi - mushrooms and moulds and their relatives - and involves
microbiology (culturing), basic molecular biology (DNA extraction and PCR amplification), and
bioinformatics (sequence editing and analysis). Volunteers usually start on the most basic tasks and
progress as their skills and experience increase. If you have a 4-5 hour block of time each week that
you could spare (alternate arrangements can be made in the case of exams or assignments), have the
required characteristics mentioned above, and are interested in gaining experience in a biology lab,
please send me <[email protected]> an email with your unofficial transcripts and cv. Selected candidates
will be contacted for a brief interview.
