Opportunities for International Exchange
The International College of Fellows is leading the effort to facilitate the internationalization of biomaterials science education through short-term student exchanges. Biomaterials education is being fostered among young scientists through international exchanges from laboratories within the United States and Singapore, The Netherlands, Portugal, France, and Poland.
Opportunities for international graduate students are available for short-term residency at the Kohn Lab at the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials in Piscataway, New Jersey. Students must be currently enrolled in a relevant Ph.D. program and must meet the insurance, funding, and visa requirements of Rutgers University.
Students who are interested in this program should send their CV to Kathy Piano. CVs should be accompanied by a cover letter and the following:
- areas of interest and/or proposed project
- time and duration of visit
- three academic references
Eligible candidates will be requested to participate in a telephone interview and provide three original, signed letters of recommendation from their academic advisors and references.
