Positions

Postdoctoral fellows

To apply for a postdoctoral position in the lab, please email me (iwitten@princeton.edu) with your CV, reference information, and a brief cover letter explaining your research background, interests, and reason for applying to the lab.

Graduate students

If you are already a graduate student at Princeton and are interested in the lab, feel free to contact me about a rotation. If you are not, you can apply to be a neuroscience graduate student at Princeton through the PNI graduate program.

Undergraduate students

If you are a Princeton student interested in working in the lab for your independent research (junior paper and senior thesis), you should start by enrolling in NEU250, in order to start working in the lab during the fall or spring of your sophomore year. Please get in touch before your sophomore year to arrange this (end of freshman Spring semester or during the summer). We have space for 2 sophomores a year.  To express interest, please email me to explain your academic background (including research background, if you have any), why you want to work in the lab, and also what times you can commit to working each week during the semester (total of 10hrs/wk between 9-5pm on weekdays). If there is space in the lab, and the interests seem to be a good match, we can arrange to meet to discuss the possibility of joining.

If you are an undergraduate at another institution, please do not contact me directly for a summer position, as we can only take students through the PNI summer internship program. We encourage applications through that program.

Research specialist

A research specialist position could be ideal for someone who plans to apply to graduate school in neuroscience and would like more lab experience beforehand. While we currently do not have an opening, we expect to post a new ad in the Winter or Spring. Feel free to email me if you are interested.
