Graduate Students

I do not yet know if I am taking a student for fall 2027.  I should have more information by mid-September, and will post an update when I have more information.  Please see here to determine whether you may be a good fit.

Undergraduate Students
We are lucky to have a fantastic team of undergrads who play an integral role in our research. We periodically accept new research assistants to assist in the lab for course credit. We’re always on the lookout for motivated, smart, conscientious students who interested in the work we do. This is a particularly good position for someone who wants to apply to grad school; we provide experiences that may give you a competitive edge for grad school admissions and research jobs, and we’re invested in the professional development of our students. We’re proud of our lab alumni, virtually all of whom have either gone off to great grad programs or gotten really terrific post-bacc positions in research or other fields of their choosing.

To apply, fill out an application, and we will be in touch as positions become available, if you seem like a good fit. If you’d like to check on the status of your application, email starr.lab@rochester.edu.

As of August 2026, we ARE recruiting new undergraduates for Fall 2026.
