UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
The Navarre lab usually hosts one or two undergraduate students each summer, usually in the gap between 3rd and 4th years. Some of those students continue with a 4th year project in the lab. If you are interested in an undergraduate research opportunity please contact Professor Navarre with ‘Undergraduate research inquiry – ‘ followed by your name in the subject line. Please attach a CV/resume, an unofficial transcript, and a brief statement of interest by January 20th, 2026. We will conduct interviews in late January.

Research in the Navarre lab is aimed at understanding how bacteria co-exist with animals and each other to affect health and disease.
