MBD PhD FELLOWSHIP
What Is The MBD PhD Fellowship?
The PhD Fellowship is the core program of MBD, aiming to provide outstanding pre-doctoral students with training in the latest concepts and cutting-edge technology in computational biomedicine. PhD fellows will work with faculty across the six interdisciplinary departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, Neuroscience, and Physics and Astronomy to gain the knowledge and tools required to close the gaps between basic science research, translational research, and clinical application. Fellows will gain increased exposure to the vast body of research literature and benefit from shared seminars, symposia, and career development resources in the program.
Principal investigators/research advisors are invited and encouraged to nominate outstanding PhD students (enrolled in program years 1-3). Nominations will be considered by the program Working Committee, followed by the Executive Committee.
Please note:
If you currently have more than one fellow in the program, your commitment will remain the same and new fellows’ pay will be contributed per the new guidelines. Investigators may have up to three fellows at a time from their lab.
Please submit nomination as a single PDF file to Brittani Martin, MEd. Program Manager ([email protected]).
