Research Opportunities with Dr. Wing

 

Interested in research?

Eligible undergraduates are invited to apply to do research with my team.

Eligibility: Undergraduates must have completed Biol 351 and have more than 1-2 years before they complete their degree at UNLV.

Research internships can be pursued by students through various mechanisms, depending on their interests, needs, and eligibility for work-study.

Undergraduate Research (Biol 492). Biol 492 is an independent research project that can be worth between 1-3 credits per semester. It can be repeated for a total of 8 credits. The student should expect to spend a minimum of 3 hours of hard work every week of the semester to gain 1 credit, but research generally demands dedication beyond the minimum requirement. There is no set pay for Bio 429 students, but I will work with dedicated students to obtain funding.
