We are continuously looking for creative and self-driven graduate students to join the ESB Lab. Ideal candidates should have a strong academic background and a passion for high-quality research. Prior experience in at least one of the following areas is required: environmental soil physics or chemistry, reactive transport in porous media, analytical chemistry, big data and artificial intelligence, and X-ray spectroscopy. Below you will find a list of funding opportunities available for researchers at various academic stages.

Graduate Students: Interested applicants are encouraged to email me (at [email protected]) with your CV, unofficial transcripts, and a 1-page research statement (or statement of research interests) that briefly discusses your research interests/experience and future work you intend to complete (1, 2, and 3 are some references on how to write a research statement). Please note that incomplete applications will not be considered.

Undergraduate Students: Undergraduates interested in joining our group to carry out independent research can reach out to explore existing opportunities. We are constantly looking for motivated students to support ongoing research projects. You are expected to have taken standard chemistry, math, and biology courses and to have a basic understanding of GIS and programming.

Postdoctoral Researchers: Please send your CV along with a research statement and two reference papers. Openings for postdocs are dependent on funding constraints, so we often need to explore other pathways, including applying for fellowships, scholarships, and grants. Please consider applying for any of the following opportunities: NSF Postdoctoral Fellowships, eFellows, Ford Foundation Fellowship, and L’Oréal For Women in Science Fellowship .
