Interested in joining the Lamp Lab? 

Guidelines for undergraduate students:

Each semester, the Lamp Lab hosts a number of University of Maryland undergraduate students with majors in biology and environmental science who desire a research experience. The experience may vary from a one semester, focused paper or research project to a 2-3 year, field- and laboratory-based project that includes external funding, the development of an honors thesis, and publication in a refereed journal. Students may work as a volunteer in the lab, obtain funding from research grants, or receive research credits in BSCI 389. Recent examples include:
  • Claire Weber, B.S. 2015 in ENSP, Honor’s thesis in Entomology entitled "Functional trait assemblages in lotic stream communities in relation to stream flashiness."
  • Juliann Tice, B.S. 2014 in ENST, SESYNC Intern, Summer, 2012.
  • Sean McCanty, B.S. 2013 in BEES, Honor’s thesis in Entomology entitled “Morphological differences in collected females of Dolophilodes distinctus (Trichoptera) at urban and rural headwater streams.”
If interested, students should contact Dr. Lamp with their resume, transcript from University of Maryland (unofficial is fine), and their interests and goals for the research experience. If suitable, an appointment will be set up to discuss specific possibilities for projects.
