We encourage applications from members of groups underrepresented in the biological sciences.
The O’Connor-Giles lab prioritizes upholding a safe, accessible, inclusive and equitable environment for all across the spectrum of identities and lived experiences. We support and encourage all lab members to bring their unapologetic, authentic selves to our team to thrive as scientists, mentors, educators and, most importantly, as individuals. We accomplish this through our shared values of empathy, respect, collaboration and accountability, and our dedication to healthy and open communication.
