FOR FURTHER INFORMATION:

How To Apply

Our application process is unconventional. We do ask for the usual academic and biographical information and reference letters. However, in addition we will ask you to nominate one (or more) Janelia Farm lab heads to be your mentor (and also one or more at the partner university, if you wish). We then ask you to write a short research proposal targeted to that person's lab. This proposal will be a very significant factor in our admission decisions. During the interview you will be asked to explain this proposal.

The seventeen Janelia Farm lab heads who are interested in recruiting a student are:

Dmitri Chklovskii		Gene Myers
David Clayton		Michael Reiser
Joshua Dudman		Lynn Riddiford
Alla Karpova		Dmitry Rinberg
Rex Kerr		Gerald Rubin
Albert Lee		Julie Simpson
Anthony Leonardo		Scott Sternson
Loren Looger		James Truman
Jeff Magee

All applicants must submit their materials via our web site. You will find more detailed application instructions at the application site.

DEADLINES:

We will review completed applications (including the reference letters) for the Fall 2008 class as they are received. The deadlines for submitting competed applications are:

University of Chicago: December 31, 2007

University of Cambridge: April 1, 2008
