'''PhD students interested in the lab:'''<br><br> | |||
1) The safest path ensuring lab membership regardless of the lab's current funding is to join the Ecology and Evolution PhD Program [https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/ecoevo/_program/].<br><br> | |||
2) A less certain path to lab membership (highly dependent on the lab's external funding) is to join the Biomedical Engineering PhD Program [https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/bme/graduate/].<br><br> | |||
3) A third option, similar to the second, is to join the Applied Mathematics & Statistics PhD program, or any program related to the Laufer Center's PQB track: [https://laufercenter.stonybrook.edu/index.php/lcgraduateprogram/overview]<br><br> | |||
'''undergraduate students interested in the lab:'''<br><br> | |||
Typically, undergraduates undergo a fairly long process before they can start working in the wet lab. They need to attend lab meetings for at least 1 semester and convince a senior lab member (advanced PhD student or postdoc) to be their direct supervisor and mentor. That means that the earliest time when someone may start doing experiments may be 2 semesters later - that being the best case scenario if everything works out well.<br><br> | |||
The process may be quicker for undergraduate candidates with prior experimental research experience (such as past iGEM team members) or students with strong computational and/or mathematical skills.<br><br> | |||
