What to expect from the lab

The key priorities of the lab will be high quality science, mentoring and training, a supportive and collaborative environment, clear scientific communication, and above all, having a long-term positive impact on the society around us. 

You can expect Vijay to support your project, career goals, professional growth, and ensure lab funding. You can expect that Vijay will ensure a collaborative and supportive environment for everyone in lab. In return, the lab will expect you to work smartly, maintain the highest professional standards and research integrity, support your lab mates, and maintain a constant exchange of ideas. You can also expect that we will be a highly collaborative group both within and outside the lab. We actively maintain an environment in which everyone takes pride in everyone else's work. Above all, you can expect the lab to be fun :)

We are recruiting outstanding candidates at the following levels. Underrepresented minorities in science are especially encouraged to apply.
