HABLab research opportunities
UNDERGRADUATE
The HABLab supports a variety of undergraduate research projects, and often has positions available for undergraduate researchers. Prior to beginning research in the HABLab, undergraduates are encouraged to (1) attend HABLab weekly group meetings, (2) digest a handful of key scientific papers that align with research themes in the HABLab, and (3) investigate applying for an Arizona Space Grant. The most successful undergraduate researchers in the HABLab have already been introduced to scientific programing (e.g., in the Python language).
GRADUATE
The HABLab recruits new graduate student researchers roughly every 1-2 years. The most successful applicants have a background or interest in planetary atmospheres as well as existing expertise in computation and modeling. Alongside the admissions process inside the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at UArizona, interested students could consider submitting an application to the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program with applicability to, and guidance from, the HABLab.
For the current cycle (where students would begin at UArizona in Fall 2023), it is unlikely that the HABLab will be taking on a new student.
POSTDOCTORAL
The HABLab occasionally has available internal research funds for recruiting postdoctoral scholars. Additionally, Prof. Tyler Robinson is often able to recruit postdoctoral scholars through the NASA Postdoctoral Program,NASA’s Hubble Fellowship Program, and the Heising-Simons 51 Pegasi b Fellowship Program.
The HABLab values contributions from individuals from all backgrounds, and encourages prospective researchers from under-served groups to enquire about opportunities with the HABLab and at UArizona. Contact Prof. Tyler Robinson for more information.
