GETTING INVOLVED: JOIN OUR RESEARCH TEAM
Graduate Studies
Dr. Victoria Talwar is looking for highly motivated and hard working graduate students. Graduate students in the lab have considerable freedom in formulating their research projects. Initially, students are encouraged to be active members of the team and gain experience with different research projects. Then, in collaboration and consultation with Dr. Talwar develop a research program to pursue.
A Team Approach
Our research lab takes a team approach with senior researchers mentoring junior researchers. We work as a team and all students are expected to contribute significantly to the lab by learning the various study procedures that are currently be used in the lab, running studies in addition to their own thesis research, contributing to lab meetings, presenting research at conferences and publishing research findings under the direction of Dr. Talwar.
