Apply
to the IGERT Training Program
All IGERT trainees
must be Ph.D. candidates at Brandeis University in one of the
following programs:
- Biochemistry
- Biophysics &
Structural Biology
- Cell & Molecular
Biology
- Chemistry
- Neuroscience
- Physics
Students will apply to become members of the IGERT program
in Quantitative Biology in the spring semester of their first
year of graduate studies. Six to eight IGERT trainees and IGERT
associates will be admitted each year (5 or 6 will be funded
trainees, and the remainder talented associates).
IGERT trainees will be fully funded by the IGERT grant for
two years, while IGERT associates will be students who participate
fully in the program but are funded by other university resources;
the IGERT associates program allows foreign students to be included
in the program, thus enriching its cultural diversity.
Our programs have differing first year requirements, but all
become flexible starting in the summer after the first year.
We feel that starting the IGERT program that summer will have
the greatest impact within the rather liberal framework of our
current Ph.D. programs. Please refer to the Training
Program page for more information.
