Subject: UROP Opportunity for Senior Biology Majors

Our lab at the Whitehead Institute is interested in recruiting a senior biology undergraduate as a UROP this academic year with the plan of transitioning to a full-time research assistant position upon graduation. Would you be willing to send the message below to the senior undergraduates?

Thank you for your help!

Best,

Kristin

The Knouse Lab (www.knouselab.org<http://www.knouselab.org>) at the Whitehead Institute is seeking a senior UROP to join our lab this academic year and ultimately become a full-time, paid research assistant upon graduation. Our lab harnesses the incredible genetic tractability and regenerative capacity of the mouse liver in order to understand the molecular mechanisms of organ regeneration and reversible cell cycle states. To this end, we are developing and employing tools to probe the regulation of these processes in their native context from the level of single cells to whole organism—including in vivo genome-wide screens and whole-organ lineage tracing and imaging. Our investigations will first and foremost fill critical gaps in our understanding of the quiescent state and liver regeneration and ultimately uncover new avenues for enabling regeneration across organ systems. A UROP/research assistant would have the opportunity to spend the majority of his or her time pursuing an independent research project in one of these areas.

Interested students should have experience with or willingness to work with mice. Prior research experience in cell, molecular, or organismal biology is preferred but not required. Preference will be given to students willing to commit to at least one full year as a research assistant upon graduation. If interested, please e-mail Kristin Knouse at knouse at wi.mit.edu<mailto:knouse at wi.mit.edu> with a summary of research experience and a resume or CV. We look forward to hearing from you!
