Join Us

Students in my group learn computer modeling techniques that are routinely used in academic and industry research. Through performing research in the group, students will learn skills in scientific communication, critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork. I make mentorship of students is a priority and interact with students regularly to ensure their success. 

Students of all background are encouraged to apply to work in the Wilson group. Diversity is critical to creating a vibrant and successful research environment. The Wilson lab is dedicated to creating an inclusive and equitable environment where all members of the team are supported, and are able to participate both within the lab and in social work settings.

I am currently recruiting undergraduate and graduate students with a background in biochemistry, chemistry, biophysics, and/or computer science who are interested in computational biochemistry.

Undergraduate Students

There are many ways for MUN students to get involved in research at Memorial University of Newfoundland including the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA), Faculty of Science Undergraduate Research Award (SURA), University Student Summer Internship Program (USSIP), Memorial's Undergraduate Career Experience Program (MUCEP), International Student Work Experience Program - ISWEP, Student Work and Service Program (SWASP), volunteering, or an Honours Research course. 

Undergraduates from other Canadian universities can apply to hold an NSERC USRA at Memorial University of Newfoundland. This award will allow the student complete a 16-week full time internship in the group. 

Undergraduate students interested in participating in research in the Wilson group are encouraged to email Dr. Wilson to discuss possible opportunities. 

Graduate Students

Students who are interested in pursuing graduate studies in the Wilson group at Memorial University of  Newfoundland should email Dr. Wilson. In the email please include a copy of your CV, transcripts, and a short statement that describes your research interests and why you would like to pursue graduate studies in the Wilson group.
