Postdoctoral Fellows
We welcome inquiries from highly motivated individuals who may be interested in
carrying out postdoctoral studies in our group. If interested, please contact
Dr. Poirier by
e-mail. Include a CV (with complete list of publications) and the
names and complete contact information of four people who can serve as
references.
Graduate Students
We welcome highly motivated graduate students. Interested students must apply to and enroll in one of
several graduate degree programs before choosing an advisor. Students wishing to join the Poirier lab may
do so through several different programs:
Rotation Students
We welcome inquiries from graduate students interested in doing rotations in the
Poirier lab. These are typically students from the Ohio State Biochemistry
Program and the Biophysics Graduate Program. Projects are available in a wide
variety of areas that include both biochemical and biophysical studies of
chromatin structure and function.
Interested students should contact Dr. Poirier by
e-mail.
Visiting Students
We welcome inquiries from highly motivated foreign students who may wish to visit and carry out
a research project in the Poirier lab for a shorter period, e.g., three—twelve months, such as may
be required for completion of an undergraduate or Master’s degree at many European universities.
Interested students should contact Dr. Poirier by
e-mail.
Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students can carry out independent research projects and honors
theses in the Poirier Lab. Typically undergraduate students are pursuing a
degree in Physics or Biochemistry. We also sometimes accommodate undergraduate
students interested in laboratory work. Students should have a background in the
biological or physical sciences and must be willing to commit substantial blocks
of time for a period of two years or more, generally including summers. Interested students should contact Dr. Poirier by
e-mail.
