The NGP faculty is large and diverse, but we have kept the number of graduate students relatively small, so grad students have great access to highly accomplished scientists. The NGP faculty includes many highly recognized senior scientists as well as a growing number of outstanding junior faculty members. Our graduates go on to excellent postdoctoral positions and a wide variety of positions in academics and industry as well as science-related jobs like science writing and work with foundations. There are vignettes about the experience of a few of our graduates at our website. Some areas in which we excel include membrane biophysics and structural biology;synaptic physiology, neuronal signaling and gene regulation, neuroendocrinology and neurobiology of disease. As a medical campus, we have strong connections to the clinical departments with their translational and clinical research activities. All students receive a graduate stipend that covers all fees, tuition and living expenses.

We have a great program and we are located in one of the most livable and beautiful cities in the United States Check out the NGP website (www.ohsu.edu/ngp ), and  feel free to have your students contact us for more information – I think they will be excited about the quality of our program and the opportunities for a great PhD experience. The application deadline for next fall is December 1, 2012.

I would like to continue my work with hydrology and/or GIS. I am not sure if I will work for the government, work in the private sector, teach younger students, or where I will end up. The dream for me would be to work in Colorado or some other cool place for a few years as a hydrologist and watershed analyst and then to switch over to teaching high school Environmental Science and/or Engineering.
