Previous lab experience is a plus, but not necessary. The student must show a demonstrated work ethic, attention to detail, a willingness to learn, and stick to a punctual laboratory work schedule. Priority will be given to underclassmen (freshmen, sophomore and beginning juniors) to allow for the possibility of the student working multiple years in the Bioenergy and Bioprocessing Technology Laboratory, but all levels are welcome to apply.
Pay rate will start at $11.75/hour. There is a possibility of pay increases with experienced gains. Opportunities include professional development with mentoring from graduate students, post-docs, and Dr. Lansing. Attendance at monthly laboratory meetings is mandatory, where relevant research topics, conference and scholarship opportunities, and results from the laboratory experiments will be discussed.
Applications should be emailed to Dr. Stephanie Lansing: slansing@umd.edu by November 10th. The applications should include an updated resume, a cover letter detailing laboratory experience, expected graduation date, additional pertinent experience/details, and a schedule detailing the proposed blocks of time you would be able to work in the lab during the Fall semester (please detail 15 hours a week during Mon - Fri from 8am - 6pm).
