Achievement

As of summer 2013, most of the first two cohorts of IGERT students will have successfully graduated. Almost all are finishing in 5-6 years, though a couple have graduated early. Shannon Barrios has secured a tenure-track faculty position at the University of Utah, in a field of research that she developed through IGERT. A number of other current graduates have secured quality research positions: Erika Hussey will be an NIH postdoc at the U of Illinois; Dave Kush will be a postdoc at Haskins Labs/Yale; Ewan Dunbar will be a postdoc at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris; and Wing Yee Chow will be a postdoc at the new Basque Center for Cognition, Brain, and Language in San Sebastian.
