There are many research opportunities in the Ulloa Lab for motivated and reliable undergraduate students. Options include (1) volunteer opportunities (for UCI students and visiting scholars), (2) Bio Sci 199, (3) senior thesis or capstone project options, and (4) work-study. In general, students are paired with a senior lab member and are expected to commit at least 10 hours/week over a quarter (excluding exam weeks), and/or full-time over the summer. If invited to join the lab after completing a rotation, students usually commit for 2 years to obtain an optimal research experience and to develop the skills required to contribute meaningfully to the lab. Projects in which an undergraduate makes a substantial intellectual contribution provide an opportunity for authorship, which forms a valuable component of graduate or medical school applications. Students are also encouraged to apply for intra/extramural career and research development programs.
