Hall Lab Seeking Undergraduate Researchers
The Hall Lab studies ecological interactions at the individual, population, and community levels. Two species we are particularly interested in are a freshwater zooplankton and its fungal parasite. Using controlled laboratory populations, mathematics, field studies, and individual measurements, we study how these two species interact and how their interaction depends on other species, such as algal food species. We are looking for any undergraduate researchers/technicians to conduct research for pay or credit, potentially leading to independent research projects. Students may be of any class standing, any major, and laboratory hours/schedule are flexible. Work will involve a variety of tasks, some of which are animal husbandry, lab maintenance, assistance with population-level experiments, assistance with individual-level experiments, and data entry. Interested students should contact Jason Walsman (jawalsma@indiana.edu).
Have Your Research Published in IUJUR!
Have Your Research Published in IUJUR!
Submit your research paper to the IU Journal of Undergraduate Research (IUJUR), which is currently accepting submissions for our 2020 issue. You have the exciting opportunity to publish your work in any area of research in any language as a full-length paper, review article, or research snapshot. Quality research done for a current/previous class is also acceptable, as long as you work with a faculty mentor to prepare it for publication. IUJUR accepts submissions on a rolling basis, so the earlier you submit, the earlier you can be published. While we publish papers on a rolling basis online, we volumize these papers in a printed journal on an annual basis. Submitting work by Friday, February 21, will give you the best chance to be published in our print volume this summer. If you are interested in submitting your work, you can consult our submission guide. Feel free to contact iujur@indiana.edu with any questions or requests to meet with student editors for further guidance.

Volunteer Opportunity with the Zooarchaeological Laboratory!
(From Dr. Laura Scheiber, Lab Director of the William R Adams Zooarchaeology Laboratory at Indiana University)
We are a comparative collection of over 10,000 skeletal animal remains that are used in research and study for many disciplines ranging from Anthropology and Archaeology to Biology, Zoology, and Animal Behavior. I am trying to reach students interested in increasing their hands-on laboratory experiences this semester.
At the lab, we are looking for a maximum of 10 student volunteers to help with the curation of our collection, including students with an interest in animals, collections management, and museum studies. This spring, we need volunteers interested in the following tasks:
-
- processing whole animal remains for the comparative specimen
- creating educational display cases
- organizing and maintaining the collection
- entering specimen data into the computer
- completing element inventories for our fish collection
- archaeology artifact analysis
Student volunteers should expect to assist in the lab for at least one 3 hour block per week. Available times are Tuesday afternoon, Thursday all day, and Friday afternoons.
Interested students can visit us at the Frances Morgan Swain Student Building room 025 and/or email us at zooarch@indiana.edu for further information and to secure a spot in our lab!
