For Prospective Graduate Students

Picture
Obtaining a graduate degree in biology can open doors to new career  opportunities from research to teaching to policy. However, a graduate degree is not merely an extension of a bachelor's degree - it is fundamentally different in its goals.  The main goal of the graduate degree is to generate new scientific knowledge!  This is awesome and creative, and ultimately yours.  Along the way, if you choose this path, you will learn to think critically and scientifically, write logically and coherently, orally present and defend ideas, mentor other students, and perform experiments.  These skills have broad applicability within and beyond the biological sciences. 

If you are interested in my laboratory, please contact me at rolfesr "at" georgetown "dot" edu, and apply to the PhD program in Biology or the Global Infectious Disease (GID) Program.  All applications go through the graduate school but I can be on the look-out for your application if you contact me directly.  Below are the links to the Georgetown University Graduate School webpages as well as to the PhD programs from which I can recruit students:  
  • Georgetown University Graduate School
  • Department of Biology Graduate Program
  • Global Infectious Disease Program
