Welcome! The Poulin lab is a young group of multidisciplinary researchers in the Environmental Toxicology Department at UC Davis. Our research focuses on understanding and addressing issues of metal contaminants in man-made and natural environments. The research carried out by our group helps decrease the amount of metals humans and wildlife are exposed to and improves the understanding of the toxicologic pathways of metals.

Graduate and Postdoctoral Research: Please contact me (Prof. Brett Poulin) if you are interested in conducting graduate research or becoming a postdoctoral scholar with our group. Graduate students are typically admitted through graduate groups I am a member of (Agricultural & Environmental Chemistry, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Hydrologic Sciences).

Undergraduate Research: Research internship positions are available for motivated undergraduate students on a space available basis. To be eligible, you must be able to commit a minimum of 10-12 hours per week during the academic year. It is typical for students to earn undergraduate research credits during the academic year (ETX 99/199) and work full time in the summer (40 hours per week). If you are interested, please email me (Prof. Brett Poulin) a current CV including your major, GPA, year (e.g., freshman, sophomore, junior, senior), and research interests.
