Join the AID Lab — open positions for Ph.D. students and postdocs
We are looking for PhD students and postdocs with a background in physics, applied math, complex systems, or machine learning. As an interdisciplinary group, we highly value curiosity, independence, and a willingness to read broadly and learn from others not in your immediate field.
Apply to UR Physics by December 15.
Apply to the University of Rochester Department of Physics & Astronomy Ph.D. program through the online application — the deadline is December 15, the GRE is optional, and a fee waiver is available if you need it. Name the AID Lab in your statement of purpose, and feel free to email Yuanzhao first with a paragraph about what you're curious about.
Open to applications now.
Yuanzhao welcomes postdoc inquiries on a rolling basis — now and going forward — in the Department of Physics & Astronomy. Email him a short note on what you'd like to work on, along with a CV. If you're applying for your own fellowship, he's glad to host and help shape the proposal.
Independent study and summer research.
Enrolled UR undergrads can join for independent-study credit during the year. For the summer, the university funds research through the Schwartz Discover Grant and the department's research opportunities — reach out and we'll figure out which fits.
