The international scientific community at CSHL provides a unique and stimulating atmosphere for doctoral research—an environment where students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty work side-by-side. The School was founded on the belief that with well thought-out mechanisms, enthusiastic involvement of faculty, and highly motivated students, an innovative curriculum could be provided that would allow students to earn a doctoral degree in a shorter time than in traditional programs without compromising the quality of their training. The curriculum is designed to train students to become scholars and independent thinkers.</p> <!-- A button is optional, this code checks if it exists before placing the code on the page --> </div> </div> <!-- end Simple Content Box --><!-- to be moved into style.css once final --> <style> #myTab > li > a { font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 20px; } </style> <div class="row area-start"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-1"> <ul id="myTab" class="nav nav-tabs nav-tabs-sticky piprofile responsive-tabs bottom-margin-10" role="tablist"> <li role="presentation" class="active" > <a href="#mission" aria-controls="mission" role="tab" data-toggle="tab"> Mission </a> </li> <li role="presentation" > <a href="#program-learning-outcomes" aria-controls="program-learning-outcomes" role="tab" data-toggle="tab"> Program Learning Outcomes </a> </li> <li role="presentation" > <a href="#program" aria-controls="program" role="tab" data-toggle="tab"> Program </a> </li> <li role="presentation" > <a href="#academic-support" aria-controls="academic-support" role="tab" data-toggle="tab"> Academic Support </a> </li> <li role="presentation" > <a href="#career-development" aria-controls="career-development" role="tab" data-toggle="tab"> Career Development </a> </li> <li role="presentation" > <a href="#accreditation" aria-controls="accreditation" role="tab" data-toggle="tab"> Accreditation </a> </li> <li role="presentation" > <a href="#sexual-respect-title-ix" aria-controls="sexual-respect-title-ix" role="tab" data-toggle="tab"> Sexual Respect & Title IX </a> </li> <li role="presentation" > <a href="#committees" aria-controls="committees" role="tab" data-toggle="tab"> Committees </a> </li> </ul> <div class="tab-content"> <!-- --> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active" id="mission"> <p class="bottom-margin-5"><strong>Our mission is to:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Prepare students to face the ever-changing cutting edge of biological and biomedical research with the necessary skills to become leaders in science and society.</li> <li>Enable students to complete their PhD in an accelerated timeframe, while maintaining the highest standards of excellence.</li> <li>Impart a broad, multi-disciplinary, representation of the biological sciences.</li> <li>Teach students how to think independently and critically focusing on the principles of scientific reasoning and logic.</li> <li>Educate ethical biologists who can communicate effectively with all audiences.</li> <li>Emphasize that learning is a lifelong process that goes hand-in-hand with outstanding research.</li> <li>Facilitate the pursuit of significant, independent thesis research.</li> </ul> <p class="bottom-margin-5"><strong>To accomplish these goals, the following unique features drive the program:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Separate course work and laboratory rotations into separate phases in the first year of training.</li> <li>Extensive student mentoring through a “two-tier” mentoring program.</li> <li>Financial support from the program, which serves to uncouple the funding source from graduate education.</li> <li>A student body with diverse ethnicities, nationalities, and educational backgrounds.</li> <li>A unique environment, which includes a world-class scientific Meetings and Courses program, providing the opportunity to meet and learn from leaders in science.</li> </ul> </div> <!-- --> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane " id="program-learning-outcomes"> <p>The objective of the graduate program in the School of Biological Sciences is to provide students from diverse scientific backgrounds with an exceptional PhD training that enables them to complete their degrees in approximately 5 years, while producing top-level research and gaining the academic training and the professional development they need to succeed in a diverse range of careers. The curriculum is designed and timed to ensure students get the range of knowledge required to make informed choices about what research to pursue in their PhD, and this broad knowledge that is later augmented by the technical, operational and professional skills they learn through ongoing training and which together equip them to be leaders in either academia or the ever broadening, and rapidly evolving, biomedical work force after graduation.</p> <p> </p> </div> <!-- --> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane " id="program"> <h2>First Year</h2> <p>Ph.D. students progress rapidly from coursework to laboratory rotations to doctoral research–all within the first year of the program. The program consolidates the core courses into the Fall Term of the first year, culminating in the Integrated Fall Term Exam. During this time, students have no research responsibilities, allowing them to devote their full attention to intensive course instruction and seminars. In the winter and spring of the first year, students perform three six-week laboratory rotations, take a Topics in Biology course, and teach at the <a href="https://dnalc.cshl.edu">Dolan DNA Learning Center</a>. In May, students select their thesis research mentor and prepare for the qualifying exam, which takes place in late June or early July. Once students pass their qualifying exam, they focus exclusively on their thesis research.</p> <p><strong>The first-year core courses of the curriculum are:</strong></p> <h4>Scientific Reasoning and Logic</h4> <p>In this core course students (1) acquire a broad base of knowledge about the biological sciences, (2) emphasize application of the scientific method, and (3) learn to think critically. The modules include gene expression, development, protein structure, neuroscience, and cancer biology. The course culminates with a mock grant study section. <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/CSHL_SBS_ScientificReasoningLogic.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View PDF</a></p> <h4>Scientific Exposition and Ethics</h4> <p>This core course covers the fundamental elements of scientific exposition—writing skills and public speaking—and ethics. The ability to communicate effectively and to appreciate ethical issues in the sciences are essential for biologists. Students are introduced to non-research scientific careers, such as publishing, writing, and law. <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/CSHL_SBS_ScientificExpositionEthics.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View PDF</a></p> <h4>Specialized Disciplines Courses</h4> <p>A series of core courses providing students with an in-depth consideration of key research areas, focusing on understanding experimental approaches and practical applications. The courses include Systems Neuroscience, Quantitative Biology, Genetics & Genomics, and Cancer. <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/CSHL_SBS_SpecializedDisciplines.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View PDF</a></p> <p><strong>Additional courses of the curriculum are:</strong></p> <h4>Topics in Biology Courses</h4> <p>Intensive one-week courses focused on topics outside the main research areas of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, such as Evolution, Microbial Pathogenesis, Physical Biology of the Cell, and Immunology.</p> <h4>CSHL Elective Postgraduate Courses</h4> <p>The program of postgraduate courses at the Laboratory provides training in interdisciplinary subjects that are either new or so specialized that they are not adequately treated by most universities.</p> <h4>Bootcamps</h4> <p>These are short, intensive courses aimed to get all students to a similar level of proficiency in a defined topic in preparation for the core courses. Current bootcamps cover molecular and cell biology and quantitative biology/programming.</p> <h4>Responsible Conduct of Research Course</h4> <p>This interactive course includes lectures, small group discussion and case studies. Topics for sessions include, Human Subjects and Materials in Clinical Trials, Whistleblower Policies, and the Ethical Use of Animals in Research. Students also hear from CSHL faculty on personal approaches to implementing RCR in their research labs.</p> <h4>Rigor and Reproducibility Course</h4> <p>This course instructs students in methods for enhancing rigor and reproducibility in their own research. CSHL faculty and staff, as well as invited speakers instruct students in data management, experimental design, data analysis and integrity, and discipline-specific measures.</p> <h2>Subsequent Years</h2> <p>After the first year, students focus on laboratory research. In the second year, students defend their doctoral thesis research proposal. Advanced instruction continues with the annual Topics in Biology courses and elective postgraduate courses. Students are awarded the Ph.D. degree after successful completion of their dissertation and defense of their thesis research.</p> <h4>Thesis Proposal and the Thesis Advisory Committee</h4> <p>In January of the second year, students defend a written doctoral thesis research proposal. The proposal includes a clear outline of goals and specific aims and describes the broader scientific context and debate surrounding the proposed research. After successful oral defense of the research proposal, a thesis advisory committee consisting of the research mentor, academic mentor, and the thesis research proposal examining committee is constituted to guide the student with his or her doctoral research.</p> <h4>Dissertation Preparation and Defense</h4> <p>With the approval of the thesis advisory committee, each student prepares a written thesis on his or her original research. To defend the thesis, students present a public seminar and are subsequently examined by the thesis committee and an additional examiner external to the Laboratory. A satisfactory defense and fulfillment of all curricular requirements results in the granting of the Ph.D. degree. The graduate program is designed so that students can complete their doctoral studies in approximately four years. If, at four years, a student and thesis committee agree that more than four and a half years are required to complete the doctoral program, the student and thesis committee may petition for an extension.</p> <h3>Curriculum at a Glance</h3> <p><a href="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SBS_curriculum_2022.png"><img decoding="async" class="img-responsive img-thumbnail alignnone wp-image-58145 size-medium" src="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SBS_curriculum_2022-814x405.png" alt="image of SBS curriculum chart" width="814" height="405" data-headline="SBS curriculum" srcset="https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SBS_curriculum_2022-814x405.png 814w, https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SBS_curriculum_2022-1249x621.png 1249w, https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SBS_curriculum_2022-768x382.png 768w, https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SBS_curriculum_2022-1536x764.png 1536w, https://www.cshl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SBS_curriculum_2022.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px" /></a></p> </div> <!-- --> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane " id="academic-support"> <p>The Ph.D. program is committed to the success of its students. To promote a high level of student achievement, the faculty and administration take an active role in mentoring and supporting students.</p> <h3>Two-tier mentoring</h3> <p>A special feature of our program is its two-tier mentoring program. Students select two dedicated faculty mentors to guide them in their graduate studies. The academic mentor monitors the student’s progress and provides advice about laboratory selection or career paths. The thesis research mentor takes on the major mentoring role with respect to the student’s professional development during the course of the thesis research. These two mentors provide the student with advice from different viewpoints both during the course of the thesis research and in the student’s future career.</p> <h3>Tutoring</h3> <p>If students need academic assistance, either at the recommendation of faculty or through their own self-assessment, tutoring is offered at no expense. Likewise, students with undergraduate degrees in non-biological sciences, such as physics, engineering, and mathematics, are encouraged to come to CSHL several weeks before the start of the Fall Term to review their background in molecular biology. Tutors, recommending readings, and other support measures are provided free of charge.</p> </div> <!-- --> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane " id="career-development"> <p>CSHL exposes students to a variety of scientific careers, from traditional academic research careers to non-research careers in science writing, education or administration.
