Interested Candidates will…

Rotate in at least one neurophotonics faculty member laboratory

Complete an Traineeship application during first year of graduate school

Attend seminars and NRT events

Trainees will participate in…

Immersive hands-on training experiences and lab rotations with leading neurophotonics researchers, including a boot camp on neurophotonics

Interdisciplinary coursework and dissertation
