Training and Employment
Post-Doctoral
The laboratory has several basic science training programs which
focus on the structure and function of myosins in vitro and in cells.
These positions are of several categories: Individual Research Training
Awards (IRTA), Staff Fellow, Visiting Fellowships, Visiting Associates
and National Research Council Fellowships. All of these fellowships
are initial two year appointments with potential extensions for
an additional 3 years. All fellows receive a broad exposure to molecular
biology, cell biology and biochemistry and biophysics. Individual
projects are tailored to the fellow’s interests. Active collaborations
with several labs both within the intramural NIH program as well
with other labs around the world help foster an intergrative approach
to our studies. Fellows are expected to fully participate in the
lab research meetings and journal club. Inquires about the training
program should be directed to Dr. Jim Sellers
Pre-Doctoral
Pre-IRTA awards are available which provide funding for graduate
students to conduct part of their graduate research programs at
the NIH. These awards are for those who have completed course work
and can do research full time. We have used this mechanism to support
the research efforts of several graduate students in the past. A
list of doctoral dissertations and affiliated Universities are presented
below
Post-Bacculariate IRTA Program
These awards are for recently graduated college students who wish
to work at NIH for one to two years before pursuing a Ph.D. or M.D.
degree. For further information please visit
