Our lab welcomes applicants from any race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender identity, gender expression, caregiver and family commitments, political affiliation, sexual orientation, and eligible age or disability status. We are committed to maintaining a supportive and collaborative lab environment.
We are always in the market for motivated and talented people, even if we do not have an advertised open position. We are interested in speaking with you about your scientific background and your future career goals (in academia, industry, or other ventures). If interested, please send your CV/Resume to Dr. Stephanie Wankowicz.
Inquiries about Postdoctoral positions should be emailed directly to Dr. Stephanie Wankowicz. We encourage candidates to explore applying for extramural fellowships to support their research.
At Vanderbilt, students can apply to multiple graduate programs and do not apply directly to labs.
Once students are admitted to Vanderbilt, during the first year of a Ph.D. program, they rotate through ~4 labs before deciding on a thesis lab. Our lab is open to rotation students interested in experimental or computational approaches and will generally have room for 1-2 new graduate students per year. We encourage students to keep talking to Stephanie and lab members about what kind of project they might want to shape. We consider project fit, scientific chemistry, and alignment with lab values.
We are currently not accepting any undergraduate students. Students are expected to commit to working at least 10 hours a week. We have projects ranging from new machine learning algorithms and bioinformatic analysis to protein expression and characterization. If interested, please send your CV/Resume to Dr. Stephanie Wankowicz.
