How to join us

See our Lab Manual for more information about the lab and Kate's expectations of lab members. 

Prospective Undergraduate Students

We love having undergraduate students join the lab! You can find more information about undergraduate research experiences at UCR here and more about my expectations for undergraduates in our lab here. I especially recommend checking out the list of organized campus research programs on the bottom half of this page and the SEEDS club. 

 Kate also maintains a list of undergraduate students who are interested in our research. Members of the list are (1) welcome to join the first and last of our lab meetings every quarter, (2) invited to very occasional research activities, and (3) encouraged to apply to research opportunities that arise in our lab and beyond.

If you would like to be added to the list, please email Kate (kostevik@ucr.edu) to introduce yourself. 

Prospective Graduate Students

We are not actively recruiting graduate students for Fall 2025.  However, if you are interested in joining the lab, please email Kate (kostevik@ucr.edu) with a brief summary of your research interests in early November 2024. Applications to the UCR EEOB graduate program are due very early in 2025. 

Prospective Postdoctoral Reseachers

We are always looking for postdoctoral researchers to join the lab (start dates are flexible)! If you are interested, please email Kate (kostevik@ucr.edu) with your CV and a short description of a potential research project.
