To Ukranian scientists & trainees seeking to continue doing research

March 07, 2022

We are deeply affected by the ongoing savagery in Ukraine that is perpetrated by the Russian government. Having left Russia in 1987, and coming from a Russian & Ukranian background, it’s very hard to watch this unfold.

If you are a scientist who is seeking to continue in research but can not currently do so in Ukraine, we can welcome you for a Research Fellow position in our lab in New York. Please take a look at the Research Interests section of this site, and email me at el1417 dot hunter dot cuny dot edu.
