Within two weeks of their matriculation, students select a <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/research/faculty-staff/">faculty member</a> as an Academic Mentor who serves an essential role in providing student guidance before the selection of a Research Mentor, and continues as a mentor and a member of the thesis committee for the duration of the training.</p> <p>Additional mentoring is provided by the Dean, Associate Dean and Director of Academic Programs. These members of the School staff, whose offices are located in the same building as the personal study space provided for the first-year students, are available individually or collectively for each student on a daily basis to discuss courses, lab research, personal concerns, and professional and career development.</p> <p>A thesis committee meeting is scheduled by the School for each student every 6 months. This provides students with valuable feedback on a regular basis, and extensive oversight of the student’s academic and research progress, allowing them to complete their degree in a timely manner.</p> </div> </div>  </div> </div>   <div class="row area-start row-special-gray"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-1 ">  <div class="row area-start"> <div class="col-sm-5"> <img decoding="async" class="img-responsive alignnone size-medium_large" src="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SBS-students-at-Museum-Natural-History-NYC.jpg"> </div> <div class="col-sm-7"> <h3 class="top-margin-10">Curriculum/course of study</h3> <p>The Fall Term curriculum is designed to provide trainees with a broad-understanding across multiple disciplines in the biosciences. All first-year students, regardless of their scientific background and future area of thesis research, study the same, broad, <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/phd-program/about/#program">full-time curriculum</a>. The Core Courses that comprise the curriculum provide students with the skills to think critically and independently, and to be able to identify and address the important questions of each discipline. Trainees obtain a strong foundation in scientific reasoning, experimental design and methods, quantitative skills, and data analysis and management. Students are instructed in the ethical and responsible conduct of research, and means to achieve rigor and reproducibility in research through dedicated courses, and through components integrated into the core courses.</p> <p>After completing the requirements of the first year, students select their Research Mentor and focus on their individualized training and doctoral research. </p> </div> </div>  </div> </div>   <div class="row area-start"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-1">  <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-5"> <img decoding="async" class="img-responsive top-margin-25 bottom-margin-25 alignnone size-medium_large" src="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SBS-students-at-Google-NYC.jpg"> </div> <div class="col-sm-7"> <h3 class="top-margin-35">Career development</h3> <p>Our <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/phd-program/alumni/">graduates</a> are well prepared to enter a <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/phd-program/outcomes/">wide array of careers</a> that include academic research, biotech, pharma, consulting, and publishing.

In the first year, students are invited to live in one of CSHL’s on-campus properties reserved exclusively for students: either the Knight House or Cutting House, two 19th century, fully restored and fully furnished houses in Cold Spring Harbor.</p> <p>Students are provided with relocation costs, and a laptop and other supplies upon matriculation.</p> <p>An annual educational enhancement fund ensures that students have access to meetings, courses and other educational resources. </p> <p>Affordable group childcare is provided for the entire CSHL community on the main campus through <a href="https://child-care-preschool.brighthorizons.com/ny/coldspringharbor/mdlccc/our-center">Bright Horizons</a>.</p> </div> </div>  </div> </div>   <div class="row area-start"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-1">  <div class="row area-start"> <div class="col-sm-5"> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" data-headline="photo of CSHL graduate students in a conference room" src="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Grad_Students_Mentor_Training_2023-1249x703.jpg" alt="photo of CSHL graduate students in a conference room" width="1024" height="576" class="img-responsive alignnone size-large wp-image-65775" srcset="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Grad_Students_Mentor_Training_2023-1249x703.jpg 1249w, https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Grad_Students_Mentor_Training_2023-814x458.jpg 814w, https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Grad_Students_Mentor_Training_2023-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Grad_Students_Mentor_Training_2023-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Grad_Students_Mentor_Training_2023.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> </div> <div class="col-sm-7"> <h3 class="top-margin-10">Mentoring and teaching</h3> <p>Students have numerous opportunities to develop their mentoring skills while receiving their graduate training. These include being mentors for participants of the PREP Postbaccalaureate Program, the summer Undergraduate Research Program, and the Partners for the Future high school research program. Additionally, students may mentor undergraduates across the country as part of the CSHL Remote Mentoring Program. Students are well prepared for these mentoring roles after receiving mentor training based on the curriculum by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER).</p> <p>Students have the unique opportunity to teach in the <a href="https://dnalc.cshl.edu/">DNA Learning Center</a> as part of their required first-year curriculum. Students who want additional opportunities can teach undergraduates in partnership with local colleges and universities, many of which are minority-serving institutions. To prepare students, we offer the Undergraduate Teaching and Pedagogy Workshops in conjunction with faculty from the State University of New York at Old Westbury. </div> </div>  </div> </div>   <div class="row area-start row-special-gray bottom-margin-50"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-1 ">  <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-5"> <p><img decoding="async" class="img-responsive alignnone top-margin-25 size-medium_large" src="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/volleyball_IMG_9975.jpg"> </div> <div class="col-sm-7"> <h3 class="top-margin-35">Life at CSHL</h3> <p>Located on the north shore of Long Island, CSHL is surrounded by miles of beautiful beaches and hiking trails allowing students to easily escape the lab and immerse themselves in nature.</p> <p>The warm weather months will find students enjoying volleyball games and barbecues by the beach, as part of the community events organized by the Laboratory. Students also have the exceptional opportunity to regularly meet and network with scientific leaders as part of the <a href="https://meetings.cshl.edu/">Meetings and Courses Program</a>, where more than 10,000 scientists visit CSHL annually.</p> <p>The nearby towns of Cold Spring Harbor and Huntington provide students with all the necessary amenities.
