The department of Pharmacology at the University of Washington is consistently ranked among the best in the nation. We pride ourselves on our dynamic graduate and postdoctoral research training programs, and on the great success of our trainees. Each year, about six new students start the Ph.D. program in the fall. These students are selected from the applicant pool based on several criteria including academic records, recommendations and previous research experience.
Financial support is offered to students who maintain satisfactory academic progress.
Tuition and stipends are provided by National Institutes of Health training grants, University of Washington teaching assistantships, individual research grants, and fellowships from private sources. The department of Pharmacology accepts Ph.D. students only. Master's degree students are not accepted. Priority is given to applications received before February 1st.
