Undergraduate Research

Wund Lab 2025

Undergraduates ♥ Stickleback

The College of New Jersey is a primarily undergraduate institution that promotes extensive undergraduate research. Since I joined TCNJ in 2009, over five dozen students have conducted independent research projects for credit in my lab. They engage with all aspects of our research, including fieldwork in Alaska, laboratory experiments, statistical analysis and manuscript preparation. If you are a TCNJ undergraduate interested in joining my lab, feel free to make an appointment to discuss the types of work we do. In order to officially join the lab, the Biology Department uses an electronic interest form, which we email to all Biology majors each semester. You can use that form to identify your interests, including why working in my lab is appealing to you.
