Competitive stipends and tuition waivers are available for highly motivated students.\u00a0 For more information on admission requirements and deadlines, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/graduateschool.uncc.edu\/\">http:\/\/graduateschool.uncc.edu<\/a>.\u00a0 Additional information about the McMillan Lab can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coe.uncc.edu\/%7Esmcmil10\">http:\/\/www.coe.uncc.edu\/~smcmil10<\/a>.\u00a0 Opportunities exist for collaboration with the labs of Sandra Clinton and Anne Jefferson at UNC Charlotte who are collaborators on the project.<\/p>\n<p>Interested students with strong motivation to succeed in research should contact Sara McMillan via email (smcmillan@uncc.edu). \u00a0Please submit a statement of career goals and research interests, full CV, unofficial transcripts and GRE scores, and contact information for three potential references. \u00a0Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until suitable candidates are found. The anticipated start date is flexible, but should be sometime between January and August 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come work with me!
