Undergraduate Students

I am always welcoming undergraduate students who are interested in gaining hands-on experience to join the lab. Depending on interests and lab needs, undergraduate researchers may gain experience with molecular techniques, physiological techniques, behavioral observations, field work, and/or data analysis.

Students can become involved through research for credit, independent research projects, or honors theses. Because meaningful research takes time, I ask that you are able and willing to commit to at least three semesters in the lab. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact me and include your major, expected date of graduation, relevant experience, future goals, and what interests you about the Liebl lab.

Join the Lab!

Graduate Students

I am currently looking for both MS and PhD students to join the lab. Students in the Liebl lab have opportunities to develop research projects that address questions about how environmental conditions shape animal physiology, behavior, development, and phenotype. We use field work in combination with laboratory tools to answer questions across a range of biological questions. See the research and publications pages for more information on research interests in the lab.

If you are interested in joining the lab, please contact me to discuss potential projects and opportunities (please include a current CV, a brief description of your relevant research and coursework experience, your future goals and what interests you about the Liebl lab).
