Interested in Working With Us?
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:
Graduate students interested in joining our lab must be admitted to the U-M ME or MSE graduate program. Typically, student's do an ME 590 project for a semester to see if our lab is a good fit. 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 ME or MSE 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 two (2) full semesters of research activities.
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.
