Johns Hopkins University Fall 2023 Recruitment

 

Students completing the program receive a Ph.D. in Chemical Biology. This is a particularly exciting year for new graduate students thanks to the start of the Vivian Thomas Scholars Initiative that generously supports STEM graduate students from HBCU and MSI institutions. For details, please see https://provost.jhu.edu/about/vivien-thomas-scholars-initiative/

 

The CBI Program brings together 32 faculty from the Schools of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Public Health and Medicine at Johns Hopkins University and provides a diverse selection of research projects for students. In order to assist them in choosing a research advisor, first year graduate students are supported by a NIH Chemical Biology Training Grant. During this time the CBI students participate in three 10-week research rotations that enable them to broaden their research skills and make informed choices of research advisors.

 

Since its establishment in 2005, the CBI Program has received an enthusiastic response, and we have attracted an excellent group of students. Our program has grown to over 35 current Ph.D. students.  Previous graduates have gained employment in commercial, government and academic institutions. To date, ~15% of the students in our program are from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in Chemistry and Biology, and we are very interested in increasing the number of students from these backgrounds. Hopkins is a very supportive institution, and Baltimore is a multi-cultural city. The University has a number of mechanisms to assist minority graduate students (for example, please see https://krieger.jhu.edu/about/diversity-inclusion/). Please feel free to contact me if you or any students are interested in learning more about the Chemistry-Biology Interface Program at Hopkins.  You may also browse the website that describes many facets of the program at http://cbi.jhu.edu/. A pamphlet describing the CBI Program is attached as well.  Please share our information with your colleagues and students.  Thank you for your assistance.
