Ph.D. and Postdoctoral Training and Fellowships

Currently the Ronald lab does not have funds to support graduate students or postdocs. If you are interested in joining the lab, please consider applying for fellowships.

Lab Values and Responsibilities

  • We will treat each other with respect and help one another whenever possible.
  • You will work as a scientist of the utmost integrity and record your experiments in a timely manner using the lab Google Drive database as described in detail in our lab documents.
  • You will attend weekly lab meetings.
  • You will be trained in lab safety as required and work hard to help keep the lab and its members safe.
  • When you leave the lab, you will ensure that your lab notes, seeds, microbial strains, plasmids, data files, images and notes are all in order and recorded in the associated lab databases s described in detail in our lab documents.
  • Your PI (me) will be available to talk about research progress, professional development, fellowship applications and personal challenges as needed either in person or in zoom.
  • If research funds become limiting, I will clearly communicate these limitations and work with you so that you have a chance to secure additional funds to support you and your research.
  • I will provide letters of recommendation that highlight the best contributions that you have made to the lab.  If I feel that I can not provide you with a strong letter of recommendation, I will tell you at the time you request one.

Some good options for predoctoral, graduates student, and postdoctoral fellowships.
