Howard Hughes Medical Institute/Janelia Farm Research Opportunities for Johns Hopkins Neuroscience Graduate Students

 

There is an opportunity for Johns Hopkins Neuroscience Graduate Students to do thesis research in the laboratory of scientists at Janelia Farm, a research campus of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, located near Leesburg Virginia.  Janelia Farm scientists pursue fundamental questions in neuroscience that are difficult to address in more traditional academia and/or industrial settings.  Students who choose to work in a Janelia Farm laboratory are given an opportunity to perform a summer research rotation at the end of their first academic year.  If the student and Graduate Program directors at Janelia Farms and Hopkins agree that the student should remain in a Janelia Farm laboratory to complete his/her thesis research, then the student will perform their research at Janelia Farms while being registered in the Hopkins Neuroscience Graduate Program.  Any student working at Janelia Farm must satisfy all of the academic and degree requirements of the Hopkins Neuroscience graduate program, including having annual thesis review meetings. The thesis defense will be conducted at the Johns Hopkins University.  At least one member of the student’s thesis committee will be a member of the Neuroscience Graduate Program Steering Committee.  A list of Janelia faculty and their research topics can be found at: http://www.hhmi.org/janelia/labs.html
