Microbiology training is interdisciplinary and includes training in contemporary bacteriology/mycology, virology, serology, and molecular diagnostics. The PhD program emphasizes infectious diseases research, including diagnosis and control of emerging diseases, pathogenesis, and host defense mechanisms. Faculty are internationally recognized (http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/research_vmp/) and experienced in mentoring trainees in state-of-the-art laboratories funded by NIH, USDA, Grayson Foundation, Morris Animal Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and WSU Global School for Animal Health. Trainees are eligible for ACVM certification and are highly recruited for positions in academia and government laboratories. Starting stipends are $35,436 and may be supplemented by specific fellowships for outstanding candidates. Preference will be given to US citizens or permanent residents.
