Venue description

The Department of Anatomy and Structural Biology is committed to graduate education. We have a group of outstanding faculty members who have exciting programs and world class laboratories with a good mix of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, research associates and visitors. The department has many special features that make this a stimulating place in which to work, including an open door policy which encourages the members of the various laboratories to interact and share knowledge, techniques and equipment. State of the art facilities in light and electron microscopy, genomics, proteomics and cell and animal models development are available to provide investigators with the ability to perform sophisticated analyses of cell structure and function both in vitro and in vivo. Complementing a series of departmental seminars where eminent visitors present reports of their work, is a monthly internal departmental dinner, where graduate and postdoctoral students present their newest results. There are regular weekly meetings of the students and faculty in most laboratories and a graduate and postdoctoral student group that gets together frequently to discuss their mutual concerns about science, course work and instrumentation. Once every other year there is a departmental retreat in which faculty and students spend considerable time considering and planning the future direction of the program. In addition to the Department of Anatomy and Structural Biology, there are nine additional basic science departments at Einstein, with seminars, courses, and equipment shared and available to all.

Accommodation details

Housing at Einstein is among the best you’ll find at any medical school in the country. Apartments are large. Rents are low. Security is excellent. Every M.D. and Ph.D. student is guaranteed an apartment, and we are able to provide an on-campus apartment for most postdocs who want one as well. Located near the Westchester border in the northeast Bronx, the environment around Einstein combines the best of two worlds: small-town living with its special sense of “community”-and lower cost of living-and easy access to big city excitement in Manhattan. The College of Medicine owns two housing complexes: the Eastchester Road Residence (for M.D. and Ph.D. students), which is located right on the Einstein campus, and the Rhinelander Apartments , located two short blocks from the medical school. Together, the two complexes contain 765 apartments. And we mean apartments, not dorm rooms. You’ll be living in either a full-sized studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment containing such amenities as air-conditioning, fully equipped eat-in-kitchens and lots of closet space. Each complex has laundry facilities on the premises. The Eastchester Road Residence consists of three 27-story towers, with 634 air-conditioned apartments, a large underground garage, and an extensive landscaped sitting/playing area. The monthly rent, which includes all utilities, is about $449 for a studio, $627 for a one-bedroom, and $806 for two-bedroom apartments. With two or three students sharing a one-or two-bedroom apartment, the monthly cost is significantly reduced, averaging about $250 per student. An active list of students seeking roommates is available. The monthly rent at the Rhinelander Residence varies from about $460 for a studio to $747 for a two-bedroom apartment. Here also, the cost can be reduced significantly through sharing.
