immediate UG research opportunity - Forest lab - Spring 2016 and beyond

There is an undergraduate research position available in the Forest lab starting this semester (ASAP) and extending for at least 2 additional semesters (including the summer semester).  We have a preference for students with the following credentials:

Enrolled in Organic Chemistry I (CHEM 2311), with preference given to students who have already completed 2311 and are enrolled in / have completed Organic Chemistry II (CHEM 2312). Detail oriented, comfortable handling chemicals in a fume hood, and can work independently. The student must be able to commit 10 hours a week and have good communication skills.

This project entails working in an interdisciplinary group with engineering, biology, and chemistry. This position will focus on creating porous monoliths in microfluidic devices for bacterial communication experiments.  Past students have earned patents, journal papers, conferences, grants, and recommendation letters.   The first semester will focus on training, but subsequent semester will require more independent work. For an overview of the types of projects that are going on in our lab please see our website at http://pbl.gatech.edu/
