Applicants for postdoctoral positions first identify a member of the Molecular & Translational Toxicology faculty with whom they wish to work and correspond directly with him/her. They become postdoctoral students in the program after being offered a postdoctoral position by a member of the faculty.
Postdoctoral students spend virtually all their time conducting research in the laboratory of their faculty mentor. While the focus is on conducting research, in consultation with their faculty mentor, postdoctoral students have the opportunity to take selected courses that may advance their training and research capabilities. Attending and giving seminars, journal clubs, and participating in research retreats are also an integral part of the postdoctoral training experience.
