Ph.D Program at Dartmouth College
The Program in Experimental and Molecular Medicine (PEMM) at Dartmouth is looking for graduate students for the 2010-2011 academic year. Now in its fourth year, the focus of the program is to train students at the interface between basic research and clinical applications in the areas of disease treatment and prevention, an area commonly known as translational research.
Students can focus their research in one of the following areas:
*Biomedical Physiology
*Cancer Biology and Molecular Therapeutics
*Cardiovascular Diseases
*Molecular Pharmacology, Toxicology and Experimental Therapeutics
*Neuroscience
The research employs a broad range of biochemical, biological, and molecular techniques, and interfaces with related disciplines such as biostatistics, bioinformatics, structural biology, and chemistry. All students are given thorough instruction in the fundamentals of cell biology, molecular biology, physiology and pathophysiology, pharmacology, and human genetics. In addition, there are special courses on designing, implementing and analyzing clinical trials. Thus, this program provides students with a broad-based understanding of key biomedical problems and develops their ability to carry out creative biomedical research. State of the art facilities and substantial external grant support from Federal, Foundation and industrial sources support our research program.
Students have full and guaranteed financial support including a full tuition scholarship and a stipend that is currently $25,500 per year. The Program in Experimental and Molecular Medicine is an integral part of the Dartmouth Medical School and the broader Dartmouth College academic community, having close ties with the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, the major primary and tertiary care provider for northern New England.
All qualified students in the life sciences are encouraged to apply early (by January 15, 2010) so they can participate in the Interview Weekend on March 5th-6th, 2010 to learn first-hand about the research opportunities available.
Graduate student candidates should review the web site to learn more about this academic opportunity. Interested students should complete the electronic application process, as outlined at this web site.
