Postdocs
Currently (August 2008) we have 1 postdoctoral opening and soon will have at least another opening. If you are interested in our projects, please contact Dr. Luo at dl79@cornell.edu.  The earliest starting date for the first position is Sept. 2008.

PhD students
Currently (August 2008) we are looking for two to three highly motivated, hard working, intelligent and team playing students who have solid background in both quantative sciences (mathematics, engineering, physics or chemistry, etc.) and modern biology (molecular and/or cellular biology). The earliest entry time will be Jan 2006. You need to apply soon in order to meet the spring admision deadline.

You must be sincerely interested in what we are doing. You must plan to pursue a Ph.D. or a combined MS/PhD degree.

Those students who send mass emails to the world need NOT apply.

Master Students (including M. Eng.)
Most of our projects are long-term ones that require extensive training. Therefore, in general we prefer Ph.D. students or MS/PhD students over master students.

Undergraduate students
We are extremely selective in choosing our undergraduate researchers. We have more than 200 students applied in the past 5 years and fewer than 3 students would be taken in each year -- we do not admit seniors and rarely take juniors -- so if you want to join our group, the best time is in your sophomore year. All undergraduate researchers in my group are expected to complete research theses and pursue Honors degrees.

Our historical data indicates that about one third of our undergraduate students have graduated with authorships on at least 1 paper (conference or peer-reviewed). About half of our undergraduate students stayed on for a one-year, professional M.Eng degree. Most of our undergradaute students continued their postgraduate studies in prestigious medical schools (including Harvard, Cornell, Tufts, Einstein, Duke, etc.) or top graduate schools (including Caltech, Cornell, etc.). A few of them who decided to work in the real world landed jobs in consulting and other companies.
