Joining the Starr Lab
Why Utah?
If you are interested in protein evolution, viruses, and immunity, we are looking to grow!
We’re just as excited to work with somebody who has expertise in one of our lab’s interests as somebody who is eager to add new expertise.
We value the input of diverse backgrounds and perspectives, and we welcome those who will contribute to an inclusive and collaborative culture.
Postdoctoral Fellows
We are excited to support the scientific development of postdoctoral fellows in pursuit of diverse career trajectories. Please contact Tyler by email, and include a CV, contact information for references, and a cover letter that includes a description of your goals for postdoctoral training in terms of experimental focus and training and career outcomes.
Graduate Students
We welcome students from the Molecular Biology and Biological Chemistry graduate programs to contact Tyler to discuss rotation possibilities and how training in the Starr Lab could support your training goals. Prospective students should apply to the Bioscience PhD Programs at the University of Utah.
Technicians and Research Specialists
If you are interested in gaining research experience in preparation for graduate school or industry, or you seek a longer term academic research position, please contact Tyler by email with a CV, contact information for professional references, and a cover letter describing your goals. We will also base our evaluation on your specific interest and motivation for training in our lab. Accordingly, in your cover letter please describe your interests and motivations related to the recent research in our lab and your desired training outcomes.
Undergraduates
We welcome undergraduates to participate in lab research through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) and the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR). Please contact Tyler by email if you wish to discuss opportunities for research in the lab.
