Education
In addition to the more formalized instruction carried out by the faculty in the classroom and seminar settings, the Division's faculty actively seek and encourage talented young investigators at the pre-graduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels to join their laboratories and participate in the discovery process. Graduate students can choose from a variety of degree programs of which the faculty are part. These include the Molecular and Developmental Biology Program, as well a number of graduate programs offered through the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. The Division offers the following advantages to the incoming student/fellow:
- State of the art training in molecular cardiovascular biology.
All of the necessary infrastructure for the kind of training necessary for long term success in basic research is available. These include extensive core infrastructures, which enable the student/fellow to learn and use molecular biology, transgenesis, gene targeting, structural biology, bioinformatics, functional genomics, human genetics, small animal physiology and proteomics. Members of the Division's trainee group have been uniformly successful in obtaining choice positions in academics and industry. - An exciting, international group of peers.
Currently, the Division hosts graduate students/post-doctoral fellows from Germany, Japan, China, India, Brazil, France and Spain. - Full financial support.
Due to the success of the Division's faculty in competing for grants, all laboratories are fully funded and able to offer the incoming young investigator full salary support that is nationally competitive. Help with obtaining the necessary visas is also available. The cost of living is modest in the Midwest and salaries provide a comfortable, if not luxurious level of support.
Prospective students and fellows are encouraged to contact the individual faculty member with whom they are interested in working, or to e-mail the Director.
