We are recruiting!
Prospective Graduate Students: Please apply to the UCLA Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology Graduate Program or the Chemistry Graduate Program. See more information here: https://www.chemistry.ucla.edu/graduate/. If you're already at UCLA and interested in the lab, please reach out to discuss opportunities.
Prospective Postdocs: Reach out to Kalli directly by email with your CV, brief description of your background, future research interests, and contact information for three references.
Prospective Undergraduates: We do not currently have space for additional undergraduate researchers. If you are interested in getting notified when a spot opens up, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/1T7TjvRbHcix8VKV6
We expect undergraduates to commit to spending at least 15 hours per week working in the lab during the academic year, and to commit to completing a project in the lab (this typically takes ~2 years).
