Opportunities

Graduate and Postdoctoral Positions

We are constantly seeking highly motivated and qualified candidates to grow our team in the areas of fluid and/or plasma dynamics. We welcome applications from candidates with a background in engineering, physics, applied math, geosciences, materials science, or related disciplines with a strong interest in fluid dynamics. We value diversity and equity and seek to foster supportive, respectful work environments. As our work is interdisciplinary and collaborative, teamwork and communication skills are a must. We encourage applications from members of historically marginalized groups.

Prospective graduate students:  Applications for the Fall 2025 semester will open in mid-August and will be due in Jaunary 2025 through the ME department’s website. Potential candidates are encouraged to contact Jessica Shang (j.k.shang[at]rochester.edu) with inquiries and to express their interest in one of our active research areas. Please attach a CV.

Prospective postdocs: We currently do not have funding to support a postdoc. However, if you are interested in working with our group and are able to secure your own funding (e.g., postdoctoral fellowship), please contact Jessica Shang (j.k.shang[at]rochester.edu) with inquiries and to express interest. Please attach a CV and a cover letter describing your qualifications.

Undergraduate Positions

To be considered for an undergraduate position, please send your CV/resume and your latest transcript. Funded undergraduate research assistantships are limited; you may also consider doing an undergraduate independent study for research credit during the academic year.
