The Volkan lab in the Dept. of Biology is looking for volunteers who can start immediately or in the 2025 Fall semester and continue long-term. We employ the fruit fly nervous system as a model and explore the molecular mechanisms behind the influence of social experience on various behaviors such as sleep activity, aggression and courtship behavior. Volunteer students will help with us with separating females and males under stereo microscope during pupal stage, and will aliquot fly food in vials to set up experiments. Students who excel in these tasks will eventually be given a project to conduct sleep experiments. Depending on the level and duration of your contribution, recognition as publication co-author is a possibility as well. Interested applicants should email sumie.okuwa@duke.edu |
