At this time, the Rijal Lab is not recruiting new MS or PhD students or postdoctoral fellows. Prospective trainees are encouraged to check back for updates or explore graduate opportunities within the School of Biological, Environmental, and Earth Sciences (BEES) at The University of Southern Mississippi

Undergraduate students

We welcome motivated undergraduate students who are eager to explore host–pathogen biology through hands-on research. We offer research opportunities in areas such as cell biology assays and host–microbe interaction studies. Students can join the lab through:

• The MS INBRE Scholars Program
• The USM Honors College (for honors research projects)

Interested students should coordinate with their program and contact Ramesh Rijal to discuss available opportunities.
