Opportunity for students to get research experience in the Kron lab.
The Kron lab has hosted over sixty undergraduates to date, mostly from the College. Students in the College can pursue research projects through the year or over the summer. Long-term projects are expected to lead to presentations and publications. While projects are typically collaborative with senior members of the lab, they are often independent. We are most interested in bringing on first and second year students, although some prior research experience is better. Third year students looking for Honors thesis projects are also welcome. If you are curious, take a look at our recent publications (kron sj on PubMed) and our web site before contacting us.
