Post Doctoral Positions
There are currently no funded post-doctoral positions availiable, however we are always accepting applications. Interested applicants should send an electronic (PDF) copy of their CV to Prof. David Erickson (de54@cornell.edu).
Ph.D. Positions
Every year new Ph.D. students join our lab. Generally speaking research topics are matched to the student's interest but typically fall under the catagories listed on our research page. Further information on our research is also availiable from our recent publications.
To be eligable to join our lab, students must be admitted into the doctoral programs in either Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering or Applied Physics at Cornell University. The contact emails for the first of these two programs are maegrad@cornell.edu for mechanical engineering and biomedgrad@cornell.edu for Biomedical Engineering. For information on the program in Applied Physics please see the following page. Please be sure to mention Professor Erickson's name in your application when applying to these programs.
Interested students are also welcome to send ONE email (and ONE follow up if desired) to Professor Erickson which contains a C.V. detailing your background, any publications and research interests. Students who send multiple spam emails to Professor Erickson will not be considered for admission.
Master of Engineering and Undergraduate Positions
For motivated Master of Engineering and Undergraduates students interested in pursuing research in microfluidics, optofluidics or programmable matter there are occationally projects availiable. Typically these projects involve independent research work, in collaboration with a Ph.D. student or post-doc. The projects can be either numerical or experimental in nature. We strongly prefer to involve M.Eng. students in research starting at the begining of the fall term through the end of the spring term (an 8 month project). If you are interested please contact Professor Erickson.
