How to Apply

Call for Nominations

The Northwestern Molecular Biophysics Training Program is soliciting nominations from preceptors for the appointment of pre-doctoral students to the NIH-sponsored training grant.
The grant will support 5 pre-doctoral students this year. Current first year and second year students who are US citizens or permanent residents are eligible.

Students enrolled in the seven participating graduate programs (IGP, IBiS, NUIN, MSTP, Chemistry, Physics, and Chemical & Biological Engineering) who are applying biophysical
approaches to study biomedically-relevant biological problems are encouraged to apply. The call for nominations can be found here: (PDF).

Biophysics Program

The Molecular Biophysics Training Program solicits nominations from Biophysics Preceptors in late June each year for appointments that typically begin in September that year.  In order to be appointed as a Biophysics Trainee, you need to be enrolled in one of the seven graduate programs, must work with a Biophysics Preceptor on a biophysics-related research topic, and must be in your second, third, or fourth years of graduate study at the time of appointment.  For more details on the application/nomination process, please see this document.

If you are not already a graduate student at Northwestern and are considering a career in biophysics, please visit the Research and Preceptors pages on this website, identify preceptor(s) you would like to work with, and apply to the graduate program to which the preceptor is affiliated.  Follow the links below to initiate the application process (please visit the Graduate Programs page on the website to learn more about each program):

If you are an undergraduate student interested in gaining research experience in biophysics, please apply to the following summer research programs:
