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.
