We accept PhD students from three programs: Molecular, Cellular & Integrative Physiology (MCIP<\/a>), Neuroscience<\/a>, and Molecular Biology<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It is likely that we will be looking for one postdoc to start in 2027. Interested candidates should reach out directly to Dr. Correa via email to discuss potential projects and overlap in research interests.<\/p>\n

We do not have any available positions for technicians. <\/strong>We will update the website if any positions become available.<\/p>\n

Undergraduates join the lab through a formal training program offered in the Fall and Winter quarters.
\nUndergraduate training in sex differences research. <\/strong>PhD student Rachel Scott designed a two-quarter program that collaboratively trains undergraduates in foundational literature and experimental approaches. The course trains and places students in one of FIVE labs at UCLA doing research related to Sex Differences in Metabolism<\/a>. In the first quarter, students read and discuss primary research articles. \u00a0At the end of the first quarter, a subset of students are selected to join individual projects in one of five labs (Arnold<\/a>, Correa, Hevener<\/a>, Lusis<\/a>, Reue<\/a>, van Veen<\/a>) and continue in the program. In the second quarter, students learn techniques that will be relevant to their laboratory research.<\/p>\n

We are offering this program in Fall 2026. <\/strong><\/em>Interested undergraduates should email a single PDF<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0with the following three components to correametabolismlab at gmail<\/span>. Applications or inquiries to sent to Dr. Correa directly will not be considered.<\/p>\n

  1. Short statement (<1 page) answering: 1. Why are you interested in research sex differences and\/or metabolism? 2. When would you be able to start working in a lab? 3. How many hours a week are you able to commit a lab? 4. Do you have any previous lab or research experience? If so please list the techniques you have done before. Section headings and bullet points can work well, particularly for questions 2-4.<\/li>\n
  2. Your latest resume or CV.<\/li>\n
  3. Your latest unofficial transcript, including from previous institutions if you transferred to UCLA.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
