Opportunities
Our group is always on the lookout for motivated undergraduate researchers, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows, although there are no specific open positions at the moment. Students interested in such positions should contact Dr. Goudge directly to see what future opportunities might exist.
For undergraduate researchers (as with all group members), our group has the requirement that students are compensated for their time, through either salary (i.e., URA funding) or research credit. This policy is to ensure that opportunities to work in our group are equitable and equally available to all interested students (as inspired by Dr. Meghan Duffy).
The UT Planetary Surface Processes Group is strongly committed to building an inclusive and supportive research environment. Our group members are housed in the E. P. Schoch building, which has a power assisted door for accessibility.
