Opportunities

Page

The Jensen lab is looking to grow, here are some opportunities for research. If you join the lab you’ll be doing a lot of the above… passaging parasites. Postdoctoral fellows At this time the lab is not seeking postdoctoral researchers. When positions become available, you’ll need a cover letter...
