Paid Biology Summer Research Opportunity for VCCS Transfer Students

Are you a motivated, collaborative, biology-loving learner who is looking to transfer from the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) to UVA this fall?  If so, you may be eligible for a full-time, paid summer research position with the Gibson Lab.🔬

 

The Gibson Lab works on the evolution and ecology of infectious diseases through field observation, laboratory manipulations, and experimental evolution.  This summer’s research aims to answer questions such as 

 

  • Why are some hosts so much sicker than others? 
  • How do hosts defend against parasites, and how do parasites evolve to counter these defenses? 
  • What genetic and environmental factors drive disease spread in host populations? 

 

If these questions spark your intellectual interest, we invite you to apply.  The application deadline is April 1.  For additional information and application steps, please visit the Gibson Lab Summer Research Experience for Incoming Transfer Students.🧪
