The Center provides dynamic graduate training opportunities through the Biological Sciences interdisciplinary graduate training program.
The Center for Biosystems and Engineering (CBE) has openings for qualified candidates with a strong background in biomaterials and biocompatibility, protein-surface and cell-surface interactions, and analytical techniques in support of such research. Qualified candidates are strongly encouraged to inquire about available positions in CBE. Recent PhDs with training in Surface Modification Chemistry/Cell Biology/Molecular Genetics/Bioengineering are highly desired. If you would like to know more and have some ideas on how best you can contribute, please email Dr. Slaughter with your specific interests.
Excellent written and oral communication skills are mandatory. Candidates should send CV, publication list, a statement of teaching and research philosophy and interest, a list of at least 3 names of individuals to be contacted as references to Dr. Gymama Slaughter, Department of Engineering & Technology, Virginia State University, P.O. Box 9212, Petersburg, VA 23806. Virginia State University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
The Center for Biosystems and Engineering (CBE) has openings for Graduate Research Assistants (GRAs). Support is available for those interested in pursuing a graduate degree at VSU or at VCU. Graduate Research Assistants are supported by funded research grants with defined project goals and specific, targeted engineering deliverables. GRAs may pursue a curriculum in Engineering, Bioelectronics, Biology, Chemistry, or Biomedical Engineering.
The Center for Biosystems and Engineering (CBE) has openings for undergraduate students interested in conducting research. Undergraduate students are expected to commit to a minimum of 2 semesters and approximately 5 to 10 hrs/wk if they seriously want to conduct research in CBE. Students will have to register for the appropriate research course in their academic programs (i.e. senior design/ independent Research Projects/ Independent Studies). Please submit a resume and a cover letter via email Dr. Slaughter.
The Center for Biosystems and Engineering (CBE) has openings for rising junior and senior high school students who are interested in conducting research in CBE. Please submit a resume and a cover letter via email Dr. Slaughter.
