Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.
– Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Pelé)

Post-Doctoral Scholar:  We currently have no open post-doctoral positions.

Ph.D. Gradate Research Assistants:  We occasionally have open Ph.D. GRA positions, these positions pop up randomly (as funding comes in) and you are welcome to apply.  I typically hire students in Mines’ graduate Materials Science and Engineering program. All of my Ph.D. students are expected to be highly self-motivated and doggedly pursue their research.  Students are expected to develop their own research plan, manage their research, and keeping their funding.  This includes writing reports, writing papers, generating presentations, and solving the sponsor’s challenges.

Master’s students: We do not have paid positions for Masters students.  However, I do mentor Masters thesis for projects related to printed materials and devices.  I typically give Masters students open-ended, applied science projects based upon the group’s previous fundamental research.  You are expected to put in 10 hrs/week of effort on your project/thesis for the first semester and 15-20 hrs/week in your second semester.

Undergraduates: We are always looking for self-motivated undergraduates to participate in our lab and gain hands-on research and engineering experience.
