INTERESTED IN JOINING THE PEADS LAB?

The PEADS Lab accepts applications from undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral trainees. The PEADS Lab offers a stimulating research environment on maternal and child health through multidisciplinary lenses (nutrition, physical activity, metabolism, gut microbiome). Students interested in joining our lab group should have a strong interest in maternal and child health and related lenses. Students must also work well independently, have excellent work ethic, attention to detail, and time management skills, be open-minded and flexible, and be passionate about the work that we do.  

Volunteers are also welcome. These positions normally involve helping a particular graduate student collect data for their thesis. The number of hours per week varies depending on the project.
