Editor's notes

• Apply to the joint PhD through Georgia Tech's portal by December 1, 2026; the degree is awarded jointly with Emory and students work on both campuses. The department lists only a CV, statement of purpose and transcripts, so the statement carries most of the weight: name specific research areas from the program list (e.g., neuroengineering, immunoengineering, imaging) and the faculty whose work fits, since advisors are matched in the first year after rotations. Top applicants are invited to a spring recruitment event, so expect an interview stage after the December deadline.
