PhD and Postdoctoral Research
There are many paths to joining the lab for PhD and postdoctoral research.
For PhD students, first find an affiliated graduate program that meets your background and interests. You may apply to multiple programs.
For PhD and postdoctoral applicants, it is important that you seek external funding. Not only will writing the application help you sharpen you research focus, but having a fellowhip will allow you more flexibility and independence in your research.
