Undergraduate student inquiries

The Wolberg Lab receives a large number of inquiries from undergraduate students seeking research opportunities. We welcome genuine interest from students who have taken time to engage thoughtfully with our work. Undergraduate students who wish to inquire about joining the lab should send a brief email that includes:

  • a specific question, figure, or concept from one of our publications or ongoing research areas that you found interesting or would like to understand better
  • a short description of why that topic resonates with you, even if your understanding is still developing
  • your current year, major, and any relevant coursework or experience, preferably as a resume or curriculum vitae (CV)

 

All inquiries

Preference will be given to individuals who express genuine interest in the laboratory’s projects and indicate how their interests might fit into current focus areas of the lab. Generic or template-based emails that do not demonstrate genuine interest and familiarity with our research are unlikely to receive a response. Applicants are encouraged to focus on authenticity and curiosity rather than broad statements about disease importance.

The Wolberg Lab is committed to mentoring motivated trainees in an exciting, collaborative, team-oriented environment, and we value thoughtful engagement.
