NLD Lab Philosophy
- Innovation occurs at the crossroads of disciplines and conducting translational neurobiological research is inherently interdisciplinary. We therefore respect individual strengths and seek people who excell in areas like technology, computer science, biology, mathematics/statistics, social skills/networking, theory, writing, and/or organization and administration. But most importantly, we foster motivated team players who are willing to learn from and teach each other.
-
The lab is run like a family business. We care for each other, stimulate entrepreneurship, and deliver quality output (good graduates, effective dissemination, innovative products or methodologies) that furthers our mission.
-
As a supervisor, I [Dr. Woltering] am expecting graduate students to be self-motivated and naturally inquisitive. I like to involve students at many levels of research, give them personal responsibility, and provide guidance, opportunities, and direction where needed or asked for. However, I also challenge them to become maximally confident and capable agents for the future.
Undergraduate Research Assistants
We occasionally welcome undergraduate students at Texas A&M University who are interested in contributing to our current research projects. Research assistants may contribute to ongoing projects while gaining experience with research methods, collaboration, and academic work. Depending on the project and availability, opportunities may include:
- Research and lab experience
- Collaboration on research projects or papers
- Teaching-related opportunities
- Course credit, when available
- Reference letters based on sustained, strong contributions
- Positions, schedules, and weekly time commitments vary by project.
Students who are interested are welcome to contact the lab to ask about current or future opportunities.
If you are interested in applying for this position, email Dr. Steven a copy of your resume and a short cover letter.
