Frequently I receive inquiries from students and postdocs interested
in joining my research group and studying at Duke, regarding
research and funding opportunities, graduate admissions, and
postdoctoral positions. I have created this web page to summarize
relevant information and avoid repetition. Please see the Schmidler Research
Group page for a description of my group's current activities and
research directions.
Applying: Application materials for these programs can be found on their respective web sites. Both programs have competitive admissions and receive applications from many top students. Please note that I do not currently serve on the admissions committee for either program. If you decide to apply, you may wish to mention your interest in working with me in the application; if the committee wishes to contact me they will do so.
If you are particularly interested in my work or have already done work in related areas, feel free to send me an email and let me know that you are applying. Please do not send me CVs, resumes, or attachments unless I request them. A URL where I can find electronic versions of your publications is encouraged.
Funding: Students admitted to these programs are automatically offered support through RA- or TA-ships. I do not personally offer funding guarantees to any students who are not already enrolled in a Duke graduate program.
On occasion I also work with or advise students from other relevant programs
See also the Duke Programs in Biomolecular Sciences, which allows simultaneous application to two Duke PhD programs: Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and Structural Biology and Biophysics.
