| Graduate and Undergraduate Openings |
|
|
We're a young lab, and we're gradually scaling up! Potential graduate students who are interested in the research group should contact Prof. Shirts and apply to the Chemical Engineering Ph.D. program at the University of Virginia. In some cases, admission through other departments may be possible. Students interested in undergraduate research opportunities in the lab should contact Prof. Shirts directly.

| Postdoctoral Opening |
|
|
I am not anticipating having additional funding for postdoctoral research associates before summer of 2013.
