    The Morgridge Institute for Research is seeking a highly motivated Research Associate to join Dr. Jonathan Stefely’s lab.  This position is ideal for a recent college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in a science related field (e.g., chemistry, biochemistry, or biology) who is interested in gaining in-depth, full-time, hands-on basic science research experience for ~3 years before applying to graduate school (e.g., Ph.D. program or M.D./Ph.D. program).

  • Undergraduate Student Research Position – Metabolism & Molecular Biology

    The Morgridge Institute for Research offers a foundational entry point for early-career science-focused UW-Madison undergraduate students to join Dr. Jonathan Stefely’s lab. This position is designed for highly motivated biochemistry or biology students looking to move beyond the classroom and develop the practical, hands-on scientific research skills required for a career in biomedical research. This posting is for a “wet lab” science student position. Please note that there is a separate “dry lab” computational biology student posting.

It’s appealing that Morgridge is at the intersection of a private institute, a great public university, and the Madison bioscience industry. We can take advantage of all three worlds.

I enjoy that Morgridge supports execution of new ideas and visions, even if that means altering how we’ve done things in the past.
