Current openings!

We are looking for highly motivated and talented graduate and undergraduate researchers to join our team. Please see the specific descriptions below for more detailed information on joining our lab:

Master's students interested in joining our lab must also be admitted to the U-M graduate program at the master's level. For master's student's interested in doing an ME 490/590 project, please contact Dr. Gordon directly via email with "ME 590" in the subject heading.

Undergraduate students interested in joining our lab must also be admitted to the U-M undergraduate program. Please contact Dr. Gordon directly via email with a resume and short list of research interests. Undergraduate students will expected to commit to at least one full semester of research activities.

Currently Prof. Gordon is not accepting PhD students or Postdocs without external funding. Please check back for future postings.

Interested candidates not yet admitted to the UM undergraduate or graduate programs are welcome to contact Dr. Gordon by email, however please be aware that an answer may be unlikely due to the large number of solicitations.
