UNDERGRADUATES & TECHNICIANS
Our lab conducts a variety of research, both quantitative and field-based. We sometimes have openings for paid technicians, particularly to aid with summer field research at the coast (based at the NC State’s Center for Marine Science and Technology in Morehead City NC).
Undergraduates interested in research credit should explore options available via NC State’s Office of Undergraduate Research then contact any of the lab’s current members with questions and discuss opportunities available.
Undergraduates with federal work-study assignments are encouraged to contact S. Zhang.
