FINDING A LAB SUPPORT GROUP

If you need more involved support with the finding a lab process, then look no further than our Finding a Lab Support Group!

Entering a lab is essential to beginning research in a lab-based discipline. However, the self-driven process of searching for and communicating with labs can be tricky for students tackling it for the first time. Building off of our weekly Finding a Research Mentor workshops, the Finding a Lab Support Group aims to provide you with a supportive community of students all currently navigating their own lab search process.

Over the course of 4 weeks, you will participate in hour long sessions where you work towards finding and securing a lab position. You will be encouraged to work at your own pace and learn best practices to aid you no matter where you are in your journey. Whether you simply need guidance on crafting emails to send to your list of labs or you’re new to the entire search process, you will have a balance of freedom and structure to help keep you on track to get into a lab!

To be clear, the Finding a Lab Support group can not offer placement in a lab. Its purpose is to offer support and resources to aid you on your own lab search journey. If you successfully secure a lab position, you may benefit from our Science Research Workshop (SRW) running in winter quarter which helps students navigate lab culture as well as develop an independent research project for the summer.
