Dear Scholarship for Myanmar:
As you explore your options for graduate school, I do hope that you will consider applying to the Biophysics Graduate Program at the University of Notre Dame.
The Biophysics Graduate Program is a relatively new cross-departmental Ph.D. program that trains students at the boundaries between the traditional disciplines of biology, physics, chemistry and applied mathematics.
The University of Notre Dame has outstanding research facilities, including state-of-the-art instrumentation and laboratories. Our faculty are recognized leaders in their respective fields who have dedicated their careers to guiding the development of graduate students into independent scientists. Alumni of our graduate programs hold a broad range of positions in academia, industry and other sectors. The diversity of faculty research interests provides our students with a broad interdisciplinary background, and considerable choice and flexibility in class choices and research projects.
The graduate stipend for the 2018/2019 academic year is $30,448 (twelve-month appointment). The Biophysics Program covers the full stipend for the first year, alleviating the need for first year students to accept teaching assistant positions. Funding in subsequent years is provided by the student’s research advisor. Tuition costs, which currently amount to about $53,146 are paid in full by the Graduate School for all students in our program. Health insurance fees are also fully covered for Biophysics graduate students.
Further details about the faculty and research clusters, as well as an online application, can be found at http://biophysics.nd.edu.The deadline for applications is December 1, 2018. I invite you to apply to the program with no application fee, by using the fee waiver code, “BPHY67“.
Please feel free to contact me at biophys@nd.edu if you have any questions about the Program, or our faculty if you have questions about their research interests and current projects.
I hope you will consider the Notre Dame Biophysics Program for your graduate studies.
Best regards,
Patricia L. Clark
Director, Biophysics Graduate Program
