Postdoctoral Researchers

Postdoctoral Researchers are encouraged to apply to Emory's NIH -sponsored FIRST program which provides three -year positions to fellows interested in combining a research and teaching experience. You must be an american citizen or resident to apply.

Graduate Students

Graduate students are expected to have a keen interest in species interactions and in using insects as a model system. In the Gerardo lab, you will be trained in both experimental and molecular work and will be expected, with help, to develop an independent project and critical thinking skills. Graduate students will be expected to mentor undergraduate students. Space is available for rotation students. For more information on the application process to Emory's programs, go to the website of the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Gerardo's main program affliation is Population Biology, Ecology and Evolution (PBEE).

Undergraduate Students

There are frequently positions available for undergraduates to conduct research in the Gerardo lab. An interest in evolutionary biology and insects are a must. There will be opportunities to learn molecular techniques (DNA extraction, PCR, real-time PCR) as well as opportunities to conduct experimental projects. Students are expected to be able to work at least 10 hours in the laboratory and are expected to be able to eventually work independently. If interested, send a one-page statement of your interests in biology and your long-term goals, as well as a list of science classes and any research experience that you have had, to Dr. Gerardo. Freshman and Sophomores are particularly encouraged to apply. For more information on undergraduate research at emory, see this short Emory video on undergraduate research.
