We are seeking 2-3 graduate students (M.S. or Ph.D. track) to join our team in Fall 2025 or later! Applicants should have a B.S. in Psychology, Neuroscience, Biology, or a related discipline and basic laboratory skills acquired in a classroom and/or research setting. Prior experience with fish and relevant wet lab techniques (e.g., behavioral testing, polymerase chain reaction, gel electrophoresis, histology) is beneficial, but not required.  As an integrative and multidisciplinary lab, we value students with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, both within and outside of science.

Graduate students in the SeaSoN Lab will have the opportunity to develop expertise in a suite of laboratory methods, such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, next-generation sequencing, multiplexed in situ hybridization, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, enzyme immunoassays, and high-throughput behavioral paradigms. Additionally, students will gain conceptual knowledge and professional development training through the lab and the University of Alberta’s Graduate Program in Psychology, as well as experience in experimental design, data and statistical analysis, mentoring, and pedagogy through teaching assistantships offered by the department.

If you are interested in joining the lab as a M.S. or Ph.D. student, contact Kat (munley@ualberta.ca). In your email, please include your CV and briefly discuss your research experience and why you are interested in joining the lab. Note: the application deadline for the 2025-2026 academic year has passed.
