Join the Lab!
We are recruiting undergraduates, graduate students (MS or PhD), and technicians! Please see below for details.
For all inquiries, e-mail Alex at abentz@ou.edu.
​
Graduate students
We are recruiting MS or PhD students. Prospective students are expected to be motivated, curious, and interested in pursuing independent lines of research in some aspect of transgenerational or within-generation plasticity in behavioral mechanisms, ranging from endocrine to epigenetic. Interested students should include a CV and a brief statement of research experiences and interests in their e-mail. Deadline for applications is December 1st. Prospective students are encouraged to consider writing a graduate fellowship (e.g., NSF GRFP) to help develop their interests and maximize independence.
Postdocs
Prospective postdoctoral researchers are encouraged to collaborate on funding proposals to complement work in the lab. Possible funding sources include the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology and the NIH National Research Service Award. Please get in touch with a CV, summary of interests, and proposal ideas.

Undergraduate students
If you are interested in research experiences, including fieldwork, behavioral assays, and molecular protocols, please send an email to Alex at abentz@ou.edu. Include why you’re interested in our research and relevant information about your year, major, and desired degree of involvement (e.g., volunteer, course credit, during the school year and/or summer, lab work, field work).
