GRADUATE STUDENTS 

We always welcome graduate students from any of the Stanford graduate programs. We are affiliated with Cancer Biology, CBI, Biophysics graduate programs, but also welcome students from Biology, Biochemistry, Bioengineering, and Chemistry programs. How to choose a lab and a mentor? This article written by Ben Barres provides insightful advice for students (and postdocs) when selecting a lab and a mentor. If you are interested in a rotation, please send an email to katrinjs(at)stanford.edu.

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS

We are looking for enthusiastic individuals with an interest in cellular signaling pathways, biochemistry, genomics, proteomics, metabolism and mammalian physiology. Candidates should have a Ph.D. or M.D. with relevant training. Please submit your CV and research interests by email to katrinjs (at) stanford.edu. The laboratory has an excellent track record in postdoctoral scholars receiving independent funding.
