Positions available! Heading link

We are in need of highly motivated, excellent Postdoctoral Research Associates and Ph.D. students for a variety of projects. We are very much an experimentally focused group, but a strong background in coding, esp. python helps greatly!

Please send an inquiry to Dr. Lynch. Please describe your background, interests, and include a C.V.

For students pursuing graduate study, you will need to apply to the graduate program in M&IE.
