"There is an opportunity to study the bioluminescent organisms of Japan with a 2013
OC Biology graduate in the laboratory of Yuichi Oba. For this project, students may
choose from a wide range of scientific tasks, including work with phylogenetics,
molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, or modeling of gene systems of
bioluminescent taxa. Your project will be contingent upon previous research
experience and abilities. Please consider applying if you have had some research
experience in these areas in a laboratory in Oberlin or elsewhere. Computer science
majors who wish to work with biological data are also encouraged to apply.
The trip may involve some brief travel to various regions of Japan for collecting
specimens. Free housing may be available, unfortunately I am not able to fund travel
to or from Japan at this time.
The application is available on ObieOpps, and requires a short cover letter and
unofficial transcript."
