Undergraduate research opportunities
November 5th, 2013Interested in gaining research experience as an undergraduate? The Jones lab is looking for motivated and enthusiastic individuals to conduct research related to several current projects in the lab. Students will gain valuable research experience in the areas of plant ecology and evolutionary biology. We are currently accepting student applications through the USRA-ENGAGE program at OSU and also have opportunities for Honors college students through the deLoach scholarship. Contact Dr. Jones for more information.
Welcome!
October 4th, 2013The lab has grown considerably in the last month. Welcome to postdocs Ivi and Kaitlin and Master’s student Jessica.
