Join Our Lab
NOW RECRUITING!
We will be hiring a postdoc starting around January 2025, a MS or PhD level project manager or postdoc starting around March 2025, a BS-level lab manager / research assistant starting in January 2025, and recruiting 1-2 graduate students to start in the fall. Click on the links to apply. If you're looking for a postdoc and want to learn more about the two positions, please contact me at kelly.dorgan at austin.utexas.edu
Research in the lab integrates ecology, biomechanics (including engineering theory and methods), geotechnical engineering, and invertebrate behavior, morphology and physiology. We are looking for enthusiastic students with research experience, ideally with invertebrates, and strong quantitative skills. Experience in programming in Matlab, R, and/or Arduino is desired but not required. Our interdisciplinary approach to science benefits from a lab group with diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experience. Students with strong backgrounds in biology or marine science who also have expertise in other sciences (math, physics/engineering, geology, etc.), creative writing or arts, or technical skills (workshop, electronics, etc.) are especially encouraged to apply. We welcome candidates who understand the barriers facing traditionally underrepresented groups in higher education, and strongly urge candidates who have engaged in professional and/or public service contributions that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion to apply.
If you are interested in applying to be a graduate student or in learning more about our lab, please send a short email summarizing your research interests and relevant experience and a copy of your CV to:
