The University of New Mexico's Integrating Nanotechnology with Cell Biology and Neuroscience Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (UNM INCBN IGERT) program is seeking outstanding graduate students who wish to lead in developing applications of rapidly evolving nanotechnologies to cell biology and neuroscience.

The INCBN graduate fellowship incorporates: $30,000 annual fellowship plus tuition and health insurance. INCBN support for new students will be offered for the 1st year with possible extension for one additional year (3rd or 4th), contingent upon satisfactory research and academic progress.

The overarching vision for the INCBN IGERT program is to develop a new cadre of interdisciplinary scholars with excellent research skills, prepared for challenges of the 21st century brought by the nanotechnology revolution. Each Fellow will have mentor and co-mentor faculty members from Science/Engineering and Health Sciences Center/Biology. The students will register for at least 3h of research projects per semester and will submit project reports for grading.

A fellowship candidate must:
• be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States
• be admitted into a PhD program at UNM
• be committed to interdisciplinary research
• have a record of academic excellence


Submit the following documents by email to incbn@chtm.unm.edu:
• 1-page statement of proposed INCBN research project
• biosketches of the applicant, mentor, and co-mentor (if chosen)
• 2 letters of recommendation (from mentor and co-mentor, if chosen)
• copies of undergraduate and graduate transcripts

Minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply.
