First, please note that final acceptance into a graduate program is at the discretion of the College of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Fellows (CGPS). While we can support your application, you must meet the minimum CGPS requirements.
Second, our graduate students are primarily put through the Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology (BMI) program, which has more rigorous admission requirements than the CGPS. The BMI Graduate Program Handbook has all the requirements and expectations to join, stay in, and complete your degree. Notably, the BMI program has mandatory Teaching Assistant requirements to help you develop a broader range of skills. If you have an MD, are in an MD program, or hold a research scholarship, you may be able to conduct research in our laboratory through the Health Science graduate program, which does not have a Teaching Assistant requirement.
Lastly, our laboratory has a set of professional expectations [link not yet uploaded] which are followed by everyone (including Dr. Wenzel). Feel free to give them a read prior to filling out this form. You may also be interested in reading our laboratory’s values. Kindly keep in mind that we are constantly updating our expectations based on discussions with laboratory members; evolving workplace environments; and the latest suggestions from Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and teaching workshops.
Current opportunities in our laboratory to conduct research:
- Master’s student (M.Sc.)
- Doctoral student (Ph.D.)
- Postdoctoral fellow
- Honor’s student (B.Sc.)
