Opportunities

Are you a student interested in Undergraduate Research? Dr. Bonham’s research group is always looking for highly motivated, dedicated, and enthusiastic student researchers. Undergraduate research broadens your horizons, prepares you for a future career in science or bio-technology, and lets you “test drive” a career path.

Openings

Currently, the Bonham Research Lab is seeking students in the following areas:

Bio-Sensor Design and Optimization
We are looking for a student with a computer programming and mathematics background, with an interest in building and using computational tools to build algorithms for automated design of DNA-based bio-sensors for detecting transcription factor protein activity in cellular samples.

Transcription Factor Purification and Characterization
We are looking for a student with a biochemistry or molecular biology background, with an interest in identifying, cloning, expressing, and purifying disease-relevant transcription factor proteins.

Electrochemical Sensors for Environmental Testing and Teaching
We are looking for a student with a background in electrical engineering or electronics design, with an interest in building and optimizing hand-held electrochemical instruments for detecting environmental damage and for use in educational courses.

If you are interested in working with the Bonham Research Lab, contact Dr. Bonham and introduce your background/qualifications and availability for research work.
