We are currently looking to hire 2-4 current 1st and 2nd year students for research positions! Students would begin in Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 and continue with paid, full-time research assistant positions in Summer 2027.
To be considered for these positions, please fill in the application here on or before April 3.
Prospective Undergraduate Research Assistants: Our process for admitting students has been carefully constructed to create equitable opportunities for all students. When we are hiring, we always do the following:
We advertise broadly using all avenues at our disposal
We make information about the position publicly available
For this cycle, we have created a series of videos explaining our approach to science and training. Please be sure to watch these videos before applying!
Video 1: Overview
Video 2: Polymerase project
Video 3: Luciferase project
Video 4: Training in the lab
We hold a single, formal application process that adheres to best practices in inclusive hiring.
The application can be found here. For full consideration, please submit your application on or before April 3.
During all of these steps, senior lab members and Aaron work together to ensure that inclusivity and equity are centered in our search. We only consider potential new members of the lab during this formal application process. We do this to give all students equal footing in the application process which we feel creates an equitable and accessible process for joining our lab. We do not consider applications outside of this process to give all students an equitable chance to obtain positions in our lab.
If you would like to be alerted to when future Open House/future lab application cycle begins, you can sign up for our email list here.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Aaron at aleconte@natsci.claremont.edu
