How to Join Us
High School students: The Blodgett Lab has hosted several high school students, usually from St Louis area high schools. Open positions depend on funding availability. No open positions are available at this time. This section will be updated when funded positions become available again.
Undergraduate students: There are two options for undergraduates to gain research experience in the Blodgett Lab – either for independent research course credit or through summer internship.
Independent research credit (Bio200/Bio500 & Chem 490/495): Please read through the associated program websites for additional information. Reach out directly to Professor Blodgett by email to inquire about available positions.
