Rosenberg lab at Stanford University


Joining the lab

We are seeking new members at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels. Potential members of the lab are expected to have training in quantitative sciences such as mathematics, statistics, or computer science as well as biological sciences, and to be interested in research in biology and genetics that incorporates mathematical, statistical, and computational approaches.

Undergraduates. Past undergraduate members of the lab have included students majoring in mathematics, mathematical and computational science, and computer science as well as students in biological anthropology, ecology and evolution, and molecular biology. Students have participated in projects of different lengths, ranging from a summer to multiple academic years. Inquiries regarding undergraduate positions in the lab should begin with an email to Noah Rosenberg about your interests. Read more...

Graduate students. PhD students in the lab have typically completed a rigorous undergraduate degree in bioinformatics, computer science, mathematics, physics, statistics, or other quantitative sciences; or in biology with a significant quantitative emphasis. Students in the lab have been part of the Biology, Genetics, and Computational & Mathematical Engineering PhD programs. Applications in Biology proceed through the Ecology and Evolution program within the Department of Biology. For students specifically interested in the group through any of the PhD programs, it is advisable to write to Noah Rosenberg in advance to indicate that your application will be arriving.

Postdocs. Interested candidates should write to Noah Rosenberg with a CV, research statement, and contact information for three references.

Topics. Research topics in the lab span a wide range, and interest in particular areas fluctuates over time. Trainee projects draw upon the lab's full set of interests, with a bias toward topics that are more current within the group. Potential lab members are encouraged to examine our general research interests as well as our recent publications, theory research, and areas of particular current interest.
