Opportunities

Our group currently has an opening for a two year Postdoctoral Fellowship. This position will involve research that integrates orbital spectroscopic and image/topographic data of Mars to understand the formation of clay mineral-bearing strata. Prospective applicants can find out more information about this position in the advertisement posted here. Applications should be submitted online here prior to Feb. 15, 2023 for full consideration, and review of applications will continue until the position is filled.

Our group is also always on the lookout for motivated undergraduate researchers and graduate students, although there are no specific open student 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, see here).

The UT Planetary Surface Processes Group is strongly committed to building an inclusive and supportive research environment. Interested students from historically underrepresented groups in STEM fields, with non-traditional backgrounds, and/or with a demonstrated interest in efforts to improve inclusion and diversity in STEM are especially encouraged to get in touch. Our group members are housed in the E. P. Schoch building, which has a power assisted door for accessibility.
