results, write manuscripts of sufficient quality for publication in
top-rated journals, and assist in model development as relevant.
10% - Supervise undergraduates, provide mentoring as needed to graduate
students, assist lab members with laboratory maintenance, and contribute to
an intellectually stimulating, educational environment for all lab members.
