Now is an exciting time to be doing microbiology research! The
confluence of new findings (always leading to more questions),
experimental tools and approaches, and biological and clinical
significance makes microbiology one of the most dynamic and
important areas of science. The available resources and opportunities
are hard to beat. Career possibilities abound in academic research,
industry, teaching, government service, and other avenues. If
you have a strong undergraduate academic record, your appetite
has been whetted by research experience, and you seek training
at the PhD level to pursue a career, the Microbiology Doctoral
Training Program at UW-Madison offers great advantages for your
quest. Think UW MDTP if you want:
There's a lot to consider in evaluating
graduate schools, programs, and thesis labs. Some students decide
that they can manage to live anywhere and focus on science.
Others decide that the science is adequate wherever they're
looking and focus on the lifestyle environment. UW-Madison has
a lot to offer people at either extreme or somewhere in between.
Great science; fun, productivity, and value at work; a rich
environment outside the lab; focus and diversity are all worthy
goals, and they can co-exist. Think UW MDTP!
