If you are interested in joining the research group please reach out to me by email.

• Internships: If you are an undergraduate or graduate student (master's, doctoral or medical) you may work with us as an intern. Most interns work over the summer, and it is best to apply directly to the Biomedical Data Science Internship Program for consideration.
• Graduate students (UTHSC/CGHS): I am part of the UTHSC College of Graduate Health Sciences. The most appropriate programs are Epidemiology, Health Outcomes and Policy Research and Biomedical Sciences programs.
• Graduate students (UTK/Bredesen Center): I am also a credentialed faculty member of the Bredesen Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education. The most appropriate programs are Data Science and Engineering (DSE) and Genome Science and Technology (GST).
• Postdoctoral scholars: Generally speaking, we are interested in scholars with strong statistical intuition, data analysis skills, and computer programming experience.

Regardless of the type of research experience you are seeking, I will likely want to ask:

• Why do you want to do research?
• What are your career goals? How will this research experience help you achieve them?
• What would success in this research experience look like to you? What would you like to achieve?
• How many hours per week and at what times/days do you expect to do your research? Are there some accommodations you would like us to make?
• Assuming a good fit, how long do you expect to work in this position?
• What, if any, specific technical or communication skills do you expect to learn as part of the research experience?
• What skills do you expect to bring to our research group?
• What are your expectations from us?
