What we look for

Strong candidates combine intellectual curiosity with persistence, care in experimental or computational work, clear communication, and respect for collaborators. Experience in one area is valuable; the willingness to learn across disciplines is essential.

01

Graduate researchers

Prospective Ph.D. and thesis-based M.S. students may inquire about research alignment in ceramics, composites, additive manufacturing, sensors, electromagnetics, controls, and AI/ML.

Helpful information to include

  • Academic preparation and research interests
  • Relevant laboratory, modeling, or programming experience
  • Desired degree program and start term
02

Postdoctoral scholars

Postdoctoral opportunities depend on active funding and project needs. Researchers with a strong publication record and complementary technical depth are encouraged to introduce themselves.

Helpful information to include

  • Curriculum vitae and selected publications
  • Short statement of research fit
  • Availability and funding context, if applicable
03

Undergraduate researchers

Undergraduates can contribute through mentored research experiences, independent study, capstone-aligned work, and funded projects when appropriate opportunities are available.

Helpful information to include

  • Relevant courses and technical skills
  • Weekly availability and expected duration
  • A specific research theme of interest
04

Collaborators and partners

We work with academic, national-laboratory, government, and industry teams on research, testing, technology maturation, and strategic manufacturing challenges.

Helpful information to include

  • The engineering problem and desired outcome
  • Existing data, materials, or test environment
  • Potential collaboration or sponsorship pathway

Before writing

Make your inquiry specific.

Review the research and publications pages, identify the strongest area of alignment, and briefly explain what you hope to contribute and learn. Current openings and funding availability can change.
