The Heit lab typically accepts one work-study student each year, as well as 1-2 summer students over the summer term. These students aid in the operation of the laboratory, and once experienced, begin research on their own project.
Work-study students need to qualify for UWO’s work-study program. More details can be found here.
Due to COVID-19 we do not know if there will be summer projects in 2021. Please watch this space for updates.
Every year the Heit lab takes on two undergraduate honours students. Students from the Microbiology & Immunology or Biochemistry programs must apply through the matching system run by the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. Students from other honours programs can be hosted in the Heit lab so long as your home department allows out-of-department faculty supervisors.
We often pre-match with honours students over the summer, so if you are interested in an honours project in the Heit lab, you are encouraged to apply in the winter term.
