Interested in working in the Barrick lab?

We are always looking for outstanding undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs who are interested in experimental evolution, synthetic biology, microbial genomics, and more. Our lab is an interdisciplinary environment with individuals with backgrounds in computer science, physics, microbiology, molecular biology, and evolutionary biology.

Graduate Students

Interested in working in the Barrick lab?

We are always looking for outstanding undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs who are interested in experimental evolution, synthetic biology, microbial genomics, and more. Our lab is an interdisciplinary environment with individuals with backgrounds in computer science, physics, microbiology, molecular biology, and evolutionary biology.

Graduate Students

Ph.D. students in the Barrick lab generally enter through the following programs:

  1. Biochemistry
  2. Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB)
  3. Ecology, Evolution, & Behavior (EEB)
  4. Microbiology

For three programs (Biochem/Micro/CMB) you generally do not apply specifically to work our lab. Instead, there is a rotation system where you try out different labs before choosing one at the end of the first year. There are differences in coursework between the programs which may make one better than another, but entering through any of these programs is very similar.

For the EEB program, students are generally not admitted without having a research advisor and the coursework is significantly different. If you plan to apply through this program, you should email Dr. Barrick early in the fall before you apply.

In all cases, if you are very interested in working specifically in our lab, you should contact Dr. Barrick explaining your background, specific research interests, and why you'd like to attend UT and work in the Barrick Lab.

Postdocs

Coming soon.

Undergraduate Students

We accept a limited number excellent undergraduates to work in the lab when space is available. Research experiences are generally not available for durations of less than one year. We greatly prefer students who have taken part in the Freshman Research Initiative (FRI), especially for experimental projects.

Dr. Barrick is also the faculty mentor for the University of Texas iGEM team.
