Positions

Graduate students:

The Johnson lab continually seeks highly motivated and creative PhD students who are interested in studying the biology of aging and age-related diseases.

Prospective graduate students can apply to LSU’s Biological Sciences Ph.D. program through the online application system: https://www.lsu.edu/graduateschool/

For more information about the graduate program, visit the BioSci Graduate Program.

Prospective students specifically interested in joining the Johnson Lab are also encouraged to directly contact Dr. Johnson (johnsona@lsu.edu). In your email, please provide a resume/CV and completed prospective graduate student questionnaire. 

Please note that I receive many applicant emails and will not immediately respond to all of them. For fall admission, I will review applications on a rolling basis and reach out to top candidates for zoom interviews in November. Interested applicants can then formally apply to our graduate program before the Jan. 3rd deadline.
