The Dorgan lab recently moved to University of Texas Marine Science Institute, and we are recruiting graduate students, postdocs, and a post-BS level technician.
Research in the lab integrates ecology, biomechanics (including engineering theory and methods), and invertebrate behavior, morphology and physiology with engineering theory and methods, including development of new instrumentation. We are looking for enthusiastic students with research experience, ideally with invertebrates, and strong quantitative skills. Experience in programming in Matlab, R, and/or Arduino is desired but not required. Our interdisciplinary approach to science benefits from a lab group with diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experience. Students with strong backgrounds in biology or marine science who also have expertise in other sciences (math, physics/engineering, geology, etc.), creative writing or arts, or technical skills (workshop, electronics, etc.) are especially encouraged to apply.
