Advisors for Doctoral Students
Doctoral students are assigned a first-year faculty advisor based on their interests and lab openings. All students are required to choose a permanent advisor by the end of their second semester. Given that new students will be exposed only to a portion of the H.D.F.S. faculty during their first year, they are expected to meet with each faculty member members to discuss research activities, as well as their own research interests and professional goals. Choosing a permanent faculty advisor is an important decision that students should make only after careful consideration. A student’s interests should align with their advisor’s areas of expertise. The selection of a permanent advisor involves a significant commitment on the part of the faculty and therefore requires their explicit agreement. Students should be aware of their permanent advisor’s expectations and approach to graduate training. Students are expected to meet regularly with their advisors. Once a faculty member has agreed to accept a student as a permanent advisee, the student must notify the department administrative assistant in writing, of the change in advisorsto confirm this arrangement.
