Graduate Students
Scripps labs do not directly accept students. All prospective students must apply to the graduate program. During the first year of the PhD program, Scripps students can rotate in 2-4 labs prior to deciding on a thesis lab. Our lab is usually open for rotation students every quarter and will generally have room for 1-2 new graduate students per year.
Postdoctoral Fellows
Inquiries about postdoctoral positions should be emailed directly to Gabe Lander. Our lab welcomes applicants of any race, religion, national origin, gender identity, caregiver and family commitments, political affiliation, sexual orientation, and eligible age or ability. Furthermore, we are committed to maintaining a supportive and collaborative lab environment. Our lab doesn’t post for specific positions, so we encourage exploratory inquiries!
All candidates will be encouraged to explore applying for extramural fellowships to support their research.
