Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students drive much of the research in the Karp lab. Undergraduate students perform genetic and molecular experiments, analyze data, present their research within and outside CMU, and are authors on peer-reviewed publications. If you are curious, motivated, and enjoy hands-on learning, you will probably enjoy research.
Undergraduate students begin with a month-long mini-research module/trial period. Typically there is one trial period per academic year. The next opportunity to participate is expected to be in Feb 2024. Please click the link below to read more. The application will open in fall 2023. In the meantime, feel free to e-mail Dr. Xantha Karp with questions.
Equity and Inclusion
Inclusivity and social responsibility are part of CMU’s core values, and we view diversity as a strength. We welcome applicants of all ages, backgrounds, beliefs, ethnicities, genders, gender identities, gender expressions, national origins, races, religious affiliations, sexual orientations, and other visible and nonvisible differences. It is our goal for everyone to be able to bring their whole self to the lab.
