Contact and Research Opportunities
|
The Mellone lab is located on the second floor of the Engineering and Science Building (ESB), home of the Institute for Systems Genomics, on the main University of Connecticut Storrs Campus.
We acknowledge that the land on which we live and work is the territory of the Mohegan, Mashantucket Pequot, Eastern Pequot, Schaghticoke, Golden Hill Paugussett, Nipmuc, and Lenape Peoples, who have stewarded it throughout the generations. We thank them for their strength and resilience in protecting this land, and aspire to uphold our responsibilities according to their example.

Opportunities in the Mellone lab:
Interested in joining us? Please read our lab's core values.
Postdoctoral fellow: We are looking for a motivated recent PhD graduate with background and interests in molecular biology, genetics, chromatin or genomics to study centromere specification. Fly genetic experience is a plus, but not necessary.
Please contact Barbara Mellone.
Graduate students: We are currently accepting M.S. and Ph.D. candidates through the Molecular and Cell Biology program. Interested first year students should contact Barbara Mellone to discuss rotation projects.
Undergraduate research opportunities:
-Dr. Mellone will be on sabbatical in the fall of 2022 and thus the lab will not be accepting new undergraduate students. Please check back in January 2023 for an application form on this page.
-We participate in the Beckman Program, a competitive research opportunity that supports undergraduate students with a stipend for one academic year and two summers, plus a trip to the Beckman Scholar Conference. Students must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and some research experience. If interested in this opportunity, contact professor Barbara Mellone.
