Nelson Lab: Prospective Students

Open positions:
The lab is not currently actively recruiting new graduate students.  Please check back at a later date.

Applying for open positions (graduate research assistant, postdoc):
The following items should be provided to Dr. Nelson as email attachments:

  • CV
  • Statement of interest (specific to the Nelson lab, recommended length 1/2 page)
  • Sample of published technical writing (if available)

Please indicate in the email which degree program you are pursuing, and whether you have yet to apply, have applied and are awaiting a decision, are admitted but have not yet begun, or are already in the degree program. With certain exceptions, my personal preference is for students without a MS degree to pursue the MS prior to applying for PhD admission.
