Join the Group!

 

The Ryberg Lab is always interested in having motivated and creative individuals join the team. We are passionate about developing technologies and processes that restore and preserve our environment, improve the quality of water, and their associated benefits on human health. We achieve this primarily through wet-lab research and bench-top experiments to drive innovation, applying skills from environmental chemistry and engineering to improve environmental health.

If you are interested in joining the research group, please contact Dr. Ryberg directly via email (eric.ryberg@uconn.edu) with your CV and a description of how your interests align with the group.

Undergraduates

The Ryberg Lab is always looking for enthusiastic and ambitious undergraduate students to join the group! Please reach out to Dr. Ryberg to introduce yourself and your interests. In coordination with Dr. Ryberg, undergraduates may consider taking research credits within their major (e.g., AH 3289 or AH 4289 in Allied Health Sciences). Alternatively, students who are interested in gaining research experience with financial compensation may consider the following opportunities in coordination with Dr. Ryberg:

Graduate Students

Prospective graduate students interested in joining the Ryberg Lab for their PhD or their Master’s degree are encouraged to contact Dr. Ryberg directly and will need to apply to a graduate program at the University of Connecticut. Most students apply through the Health Promotion Sciences program offered by the Department of Allied Health Sciences. However, if you desire a graduate degree in a more environmentally-focused field, please coordinate with Dr. Ryberg, as degrees in Natural Resources might be able to be accommodated. Please review the program requirements for application details and deadlines.

Prospective graduate students are highly encouraged to seek out funding opportunities. The list below highlights a few opportunities that are currently providing funding that students are encouraged to explore.

Postdoctoral Researchers

The Ryberg Lab does not currently have any funded postdoctoral opportunities. However, Dr. Ryberg is open to pursuing joint funding applications or acting as the hosting lab for funding applications, so please contact him via email if this is of interest. Below is a non-comprehensive list of funding opportunities that you are encouraged to explore.
