Interested in joining the River Center ?


We are always looking for MEM or undergraduate research interns

If you are interested in a work study or volunteer research position, send a brief email to lab manager Brooke Hassett ([email protected]) describing what aspect of the river center research is most interesting to you and what skills you would like to gain by working with us. Please include in that email information about when you would be available to help out.

If you are interested in conducting independent research projects, please read over our web pages to see which projects are most interesting to you. After you have done that, contact the appropriate PIs, postdocs or graduate students directly. Let us know what you are interested in working on and be sure to attach your resume.

Seasonal or permanent technical staff

We have no positions advertised at present, but please check back for future advertisements. 

Apply to Duke's Graduate School

Are you interested in pursuing a Ph.D?  The first step is to contact potential PIs with an email that thoroughly describes your research background and interests. Check out this open letter to prospective graduate students on the Bernhardt lab site for some general advice about applying to graduate school. Students may join one of the four lab groups through a variety of different PhD programs (Ecology, Environment, Earth and Ocean Sciences, Biology) depending on their interests and the home department/division of the primary mentor. You can find general information about applying to Duke on the Graduate School webpage.
