Thank you for your interest in joining the lab! Please email Mrs. Martinez the following information: Short Introduction, Resume, and current School Schedule. She will then review the information and get back to you with the next steps.
No experience is needed! We will train you in everything you will need to know. We are looking for hard-working students who are committed in collecting data.
All majors are welcome! You can also be a undergraduate or graduate student.
Once you can collect data, we encourage you to visit the zoo a minimum of two times per week. You have the flexibility to choose the days for data collection. The zoo operates daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.
Thanks to our collaboration with the zoo, our research volunteers can enter without charge. Upon arrival, please check in at the front office and remember to sign out once your work is completed. You'll be given a lab badge, which must be worn throughout your data collection. DO NOT let other people in for free. You will be kicked out of the lab and be written up.
We do not offer transportation. It is very important that you provide your own. However, you can take the UTRGV shuttle to the Brownsville campus and then take the Brownsville Metro to the zoo.
For as long as you want! The more time the better.
Yes! You can volunteer even if you are not a student anymore.
