These faculty represent research disciplines ranging from neurobehavioral effects of environmental endocrine disrupters to molecular toxicology of the estrogen receptor. Predoctoral Trainees take core courses in biochemistry, endocrinology, basic toxicology, developmental toxicology, and reproductive and endocrine toxicology in addition to their departmental requirements.
Postdoctoral fellows participate in independent research.
All trainees attend weekly research seminars and present and discuss their research proposals and data each semester. Preference for the predoctoral fellowships is given to trainees during their first or second year. Selection is based upon candidate academic success, relevance of proposed research to program goals, candidate commitment, and advisor's support. The University supports the Interdisciplinary Environmental Toxicology Program and individual laboratories through campus-wide research centers and facilities. Fellowships are available to citizens of the United States or permanent residents only.
