Join Us
We seek motivated and creative researchers at all levels. If you are curious about the molecular mechanisms of metabolic and autoimmune disorders, intrigued by the complexity of cell-cell and organellar communication, and want to help us build a diverse, inclusive, dynamic, and passionate lab environment, we would love to work with you!
Post-Doctoral Positions
The lab currently has two openings for highly-driven postdoctoral fellows. Experience in immunology or animal models of disease is a plus. However, candidates with a strong track record in any of the following fields are encouraged to apply: cell biology, developmental biology, physiology, biochemistry, or molecular biology. Interested applicants are invited to send their CV, cover letter and contact information of two references to Dr. Feyza Engin at fengin@wisc.edu.
Graduate Students
If you are interested in joining the Engin Lab, please apply directly to one of the graduate programs listed below.
We accept graduate students from various programs– Integrated Program in Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Microbial Doctoral Training Program, Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, Nutritional Sciences and Medical Scientist Training Program. Once in the program, please contact Dr. Engin to arrange a rotation.
Undergraduates
We are strongly committed to mentoring undergraduate students. Due to the capacity of the lab, we can only take a limited number of students each year. Please consider the following:
10-12 hrs per week is the minimum requirement during the semester. Please consider your course workload and extracurricular activities before you apply.
We usually accept students no later than the fall semester of their junior year. Most students join the lab during their sophomore year. We generally give priority to students who can spend at least one summer in the lab.
