Opportunities
The UT Planetary Surface Processes Group is seeking new graduate students to start in Fall 2025. Likely project areas include: studies of surface processes across planetary bodies; use of drone-collected topography (e.g., LiDAR and/or structure-from-motion) to characterize active landscape change in modern sedimentary environments on Earth; or landscape evolution on Mars. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Goudge directly to discuss potential topics of mutual interest. Prospective graduate students can find out more information about the Jackson School of Geosciences admissions process here. The deadline for applications is Jan. 1, 2025 (although applicants are encouraged to submit by Dec. 1, 2024 for fellowship consideration).
Our group is also always on the lookout for motivated undergraduate researchers 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, see here).
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.
