The PhD Programs in Biology at the University at Albany provide the advanced multidisciplinary education required to develop successful careers in today’s research, teaching, government and industrial environments.
You will learn how to solve problems, work independently and as a member of a team, how to communicate (by writing, by giving oral and poster presentations, by speaking in public), how to meet deadlines, how to manage your time effectively and how to prioritise your activities. Many alumni from these programs now hold faculty positions in other universities as well as key positions in biotechnology companies and government agencies.
