Students wishing to apply to the IBG Graduate Training Program must first be accepted into a Ph.D. training program affiliated with our faculty fellows. Given the broad scope of research being conducted by IBG faculty, there is great flexibility for students who have a general interest in behavioral genetics, ranging from cellular processes to animal models to human genetic studies. Links provided below will take you to the home pages of academic programs that may be pursued by trainees (note that some of these are located at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Aurora, CO, approximately 20 minutes from Boulder).
Most of our students are trained through Psychology, Integrative Physiology, or Neuroscience. Sample curriculum paths for each of these areas are provided here:
