Fully Funded Ph.D. Studentships in
Pharmaceutics/Drug Delivery/Organ-on-a-Chip

The Ahsan laboratory at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) School of Pharmacy in Amarillo, Texas, has openings for three Ph.D. studentships in pharmaceutics, drug delivery, organ-on-a-chip and bioprinting, with an anticipated start date in January 2019 or June 2019. The successful students will work on inhalational drug delivery, 3D printing, microfluidic chips and cell biology. An ideal candidate should be proficient on two or more of the following skills: particulate drug delivery systems, animal handling, 3D printers/bioprinting, microfluidic chips, and/or molecular biological techniques. The candidate must have a four-year undergraduate degree in pharmaceutical sciences, bioengineering, or a related discipline. The GRE is required for both US and international applicants. However, both the GRE and TOEFL/IELTS are required for all international students whose native language is not English or who do not have a degree from a US university. The requirements of the GRE and TOEFL/IELTS are not negotiable. Preference will be given to students who have an MS degree with relevant laboratory experience and a GPA of 3.5 or above. However, an MS degree is not required for admission to our doctoral program.

Admitted students are provided with a yearly Research Assistantship of $25,000, along with partial (80-90%) tuition waivers. Interested candidates can contact Dr. Ahsan at fakhrul.ahsan@ttuhsc.edu for further information on the research projects.
