Join Parrish Lab

Thanks for your interest in participating in mentored research in the Parrish Lab. I’m thankful for all the great BYU students who want to contribute to scientific advancement. For those applying for credit before the add/drop deadline, keep the following things in mind:

• Strong preference is given to students who: 
  
  • Are willing to work a minimum of 5 hours per week. 
  • Intend to work in the lab for a minimum of 18 months. 
  • Are enrolled in either Cell450R or the mentored research (Cell295R/Cell495R/Neuro449R) during the semesters or terms that you work in the lab. 
• You can find the policies/expectations of the lab here.
• A reference letter from a research mentor is super helpful on med and grad school applications. If this is an outcome from the lab you are looking for, it is expected that you work for a minimum of 1 year or 3 semesters before receiving a letter.

If you are interested in joining the lab please fill out the application below and reach out to one of the graduate students or undergraduate project leaders. Research positions, graduate student contact information, and undergraduate leaders contact information can be found below the application form.

Please note that we can’t take all students that apply, but we want to help as many students as possible get a rich research experience.
