The Robel Lab is looking for undergraduate students to join our lab for the Fall 2020 semester as either volunteers or to receive course credit. Volunteer students must be in the lab for at least 5h/week, for a minimum of 3h/day at a time. Credited students must be in the lab for at least 10h/week, divided up between two days. This equates to 3 credit hours.
The Robel Lab is located at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, in Roanoke, VA. There is a free shuttle that runs between our lab and the Virginia Tech campus. We are a fun research team that is focused on helping young scientists grow and reach for excellence. Training with the Robel Research Team has four aspects: hands-on bench work, proper scientific practice, the scientific background of our research work, and personal development work.
Please apply if you are (or are seriously working on):
• Enthusiastic about hands-on basic research and bench work - a lot of it!
• A fast learner
• Self-motivated and driven
• Able and willing to work independently (but within the context of a fun team) after a training period

• Flexible with your time (within the constraints of your schedule of course)
• A critical thinker
• An organizational genius and able to maintain high standards in research
• An excellent communicator
• Open to learning about yourself and your strengths and weaknesses
