Any MIT graduate student is eligible to work in the Hong Lab. Interested graduate students who are newly admitted to the department of chemistry, biology, biological engineering, chemical engineering, or physics are encouraged to contact Professor Hong by e-mail.

Prospective postdoctoral coworkers are encouraged to send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and published papers to Professor Hong by e-mail, and to arrange for at least two reference letters to be sent by e-mail. Upon joining us, post doctorates are expected to apply for fellowships from the NIH and other agencies.
