We are always looking for excellent high school, undergraduate and PhD students and postdocs, but we receive more applications than positions that are available. A compelling statement of purpose or why you want to work specifically with our group will definitely make a difference in how your application will be reviewed.
Fall 2022: we have currently an opening in the group for a (preferably doctoral) graduate student working on the correlative characterization of organic-inorganic perovskite for photovoltaic applications. If interested, please contract Prof. Bassiri-Gharb directly.
If you have secured your own funding (through industrial, private or governmental agencies), please mention this clearly in your application.
In all cases, please mention watermelon in your emails. And no, it is not a joke.
