Join the Lab!

Undergraduate researchers

At this time we are recruiting freshmen and sophomores (grad years 2029 and 2030)

If you are a BC undergrad interested in an intensive and rewarding laboratory experience in developmental biology, consider joining our lab in the future. Students should expect to work on a volunteer basis (generally for course credit) until fully trained. Funding is sometimes available for independent students through the VPR office or through other sources, and students are encouraged to seek out other funding sources to support their research. The strongest candidates have demonstrated professional work experience (non-scientific experience is fine!), a passion for lab work and are willing to make a long-term commitment to research in the McMenamin Lab.

Please fill out the application form found here and contact mcmenams@bc.edu if you do not receive a reply within 2 weeks. 

Postdocs

We are open to recruiting postdocs using molecular, developmental and bioinformatic methods to answer questions about hormonal regulation of skeletal patterning, morphogenesis and regeneration. Postdocs are expected to obtain independent sources of funding. 

For more information, please email mcmenams@bc.edu with a CV and statement of interest.

PhD Students

Prospective graduate students are encouraged to contact mcmenams@bc.edu with a statement of interest, and to apply to our graduate program. Graduate applications are due to the University each year in early December for admission in the following academic cycle.
