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):

• Interdepartmental Biological Sciences Program
• Chemistry
• Chemical and Biological Engineering
• Integrated Graduate Program
