Post-Doctoral Training Program
The post-doctoral training emphasizes research during the entire 2-3 year period. The areas of current research in the mentors' laboratories are described below and it is expected that the trainees will spend most of their research time in the laboratory of their mentor. However, all laboratories of the training faculty will be available, not only for consultation but also for a secondary laboratory experience. Since a number of faculty share methodological approaches or interests in similar problems, we encourage our trainees to take advantage of the opportunity of collaborating with a second faculty member.
During their first month of training post-doctoral trainees will have the opportunity to be introduced to the other faculty, and to visit all laboratories and obtain information on ongoing research and available methodology.
Responsible Conduct of Research
Teaching of responsible conduct in research is a high priority at the University of Michigan. Our pre- and post-doctoral trainees are required to obtain training in these topics. For training options go to the Research Standards and Ethics webpage.
