I'm happy to discuss potential funding opportunities, including: (1) collaborating on a grant proposal to support your postdoctoral research, or (2) assisting you in developing fellowship applications to secure your own salary funding. If you're interested in pursuing postdoctoral research aligned with the focus of my lab, please feel free to reach out to explore these options further.

We welcome graduate students who are interested in joining the Burton Lab for a rotation once accepted into the Cornell Microbiology program!

Our research focuses on how small proteins regulate stress responses in bacteria such as E. coli and B. subtilis, using approaches in molecular genetics, biochemistry, and systems biology.

Interested in a rotation?
Please reach out to Dr. Burton with:

• Your CV

• A brief statement of your research interests

We’re happy to discuss how your interests align with our ongoing projects.

We are currently full for undergraduate slots. Please consider joining the lab for a summer research project or in the Fall of 2026. If any slots open, this page will be updated accordingly.
