FRAUD WARNING, 2022: Someone has been using my name on mass emails for several months, offering part-time work requiring only a few hours per week, for implausibly high pay. This is a scam! Please do not reply to the scammer, and certainly don't share any personal or financial information! All legitimate UCI job opportunities are posted here.
Are you considering graduate school? A graduate degree from a top
university like UC Irvine requires substantial effort, but can be
immensely useful. For example, the MPH (Master of
Public Health) requires about two years, including a practicum with an
outside employer, and is the minimum educational requirement for many
professional positions in public health. A PhD is a
longer undertaking, largely focused on learning to conduct independent
research. If you want a career in research there is no better route than
pursing doctoral studies, but this is a hard road!
Carefully consider the tradeoffs before applying to PhD
programs.
If you decide to apply to graduate school, read this advice regarding letters of recommendation. And here are some student research opportunities working with me.
