Entering Ph.D. students are provided one quarter of fellowship funding to complete two 6-week rotations, with the expectation they will join a lab by winter quarter of year one.
Immunology Graduate Group Ph.D. students are provided a competitive living allowance, full-tuition and fees, and NRST (if applicable). Financial support comes from a variety of funding mechanisms: internal fellowships offered by Graduate Studies, external fellowships, NIH T32s, individual NIH awards (F30/F31), and employment, either as a Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) or Teaching Assistant (TA). GSRs and TAs, are covered by Collective Bargaining Agreements. More details can be found here.
Upon joining a lab, a majority of our graduate students are employed as graduate student researchers (GSRs) by the department their major professor is affiliated with.
Teaching Assistantships (TA-ships), that offer training opportunities in teaching, are available through affiliated departments.
Financial support is not provided to MS degree students.
*We strongly advise international applicants to seek fellowship support from their home countries. Only exceptional international students without financial support can be accepted into the program.
