How to become part of our group
Graduate Students
We currently have funding for at least one graduate student! We are involved in three Graduate School Programs. Please click on the link below for more details on how to apply for these programs. If you are already in the program and interested in rotating, please reach out directly to Aaron Mickle via email.
Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Biomedical Sciences (IDP) at the Medical College of Wisconsin
Neuroscience Doctoral Program (NDP) at the Medical College of Wisconsin
Current potential projects include:
Sensory role of urothelial cells
Bladder function and spinal cord injury
Postdoctoral Positions
Our dynamic team at the Medical College of Wisconsin is seeking a post-doctoral researcher to join our group studying mechanisms of bladder sensation, interoception, and pain. The candidate would have the opportunity to lead studies involving signaling between nociceptors and non-neuronal cells in models of interstitial cystitis and bladder pain. They would have the opportunity to learn a variety of techniques from animal behavior, cytometric testing, electrophysiology, fMRI, and optogenetics. Additionally, there are resources available to initiate independent projects with the aim of building an independent research career. Interested applicants can reach out to Aaron Mickle directly through email amickle@mcw.edu. More information about the lab can be found at micklelab.com
Undergraduate Research
We actively support undergraduate research. If you are an undergraduate in Milwaukee and want to work in the lab during the semester, please reach out via email. Summer Research Programs are the best way to get involved in research as they provide an extended full-time research experience that pays you!
