HOW TO JOIN THE NWOSU LAB
Undergraduates
Undergraduates that wish to join the lab for research experience should email the PI with their CV attached and or just write an email to request for a meeting to discuss research interest. This includes summer internship experience. Our lab is acutely committed to providing undergraduates the opportunity to gain experience in biomedical research methods.
Cornell graduate students
Dr. Nwosu is a member of the graduate fields of biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology (BMCB), genetics, genomics and development (GGD), and the Biomedical and Biological Sciences (BBS), and can recruit PhD students from these programs. Graduate students who wish to join us from those programs (e.g., as part of lab rotation) should please contact the PI to schedule a meeting. Unless advised otherwise, please send your CV and personal statement ahead of the meeting.
Prospective graduate/PhD students
The admission of graduate students into Cornell University, and by extension the labs (where applicable), is managed through the graduate fields. Accordingly, prospective graduate students who are yet to be admitted into Cornell are strongly advised to focus more on the graduate fields’ application process and eligibility criteria. Although prospective students are free to contact Dr. Nwosu to express interest in the lab, that is not a necessary step. Newly admitted graduate students in the three fields undertake rotation experience in three labs before deciding which one to join. For more details about the graduate programs please the BMCB, GGD and BBS websites.
Postdocs
Candidates that are interested in pursuing postdoctoral research in the Nwosu Lab are encouraged to contact the PI if the lab has no current call for applicants. For the first email please only send your CV. The CV should clearly indicate whether you already have a PhD. If there is an open call, then please follow the instruction on the advert and apply accordingly.
Others
There are fellowships, grants or scholarships that enable students or academic staff from an institution to visit a lab in another institution as part of an exchange program. Those who wish to work in our lab as part of such visit are encouraged to contact the PI to discuss the possibilities of being hosted.
