Opportunities

Graduate students: 

The Searle lab does not currently have open positions for gradudate students in the 2026-'27 admissions cycle. 

Post-docs:

The Searle lab does not currently have open positions for postdoctoral researchers. However, prospective postdocs who are interested in applying for external fellowships are encouraged to contact Dr. Searle. 

Undergraduates:

Undergraduate students assist with ongoing projects or work on independent research. Undergraduate students interested in working in the Searle lab should send Dr. Searle an e-mail containing a brief statement of interests and a resume (note: previous research experience is not required). Because many undergraduate students stay in the Searle lab for multiple semesters, we do not always have space for new students. Juniors and seniors are encouraged to participate in the Biological Sciences Honors Research Program; you do not need to be in the honors college to participate in this program. We also take students through Purdue Summer Stays Program, the Summer Research Opportunities Program, and the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program (SURF).
