Information on Identifying a Potential Faculty Mentor
- Please note that all core and associated faculty members may be faculty research mentors in our program unless noted otherwise below.
- Applicants to our program should indicate three faculty members with whom they might want to work and should note 3 faculty members with whom they would work on their applications to the program.
- Prospective applicants are encouraged to reach out to specific faculty members that they might have an interest in working with, although doing so is not a formal requirement for admissions. Additionally, applicants should be aware that some faculty do not respond to individual requests for information about their lab due to equity issues and/or personal preference and time.
- f you do not hear back from faculty, do NOT assume that this is reflective of a lack of interest in you as a potential applicant.
- Faculty members who are interested in accepting applications for Ph.D. students in their labs for the 2025-2026 academic year will be posted by the end of September, 2024. Please check back regularly.
