We are always on the lookout for top students and researchers to join our lab. See below for information for potential postdoctoral scholars, Ph.D. students, and Master’s or undergrad research assistants or volunteers.
Not a prospective student or postdoc? Contact Jessica or Matt directly with speaking engagements or other requests.
Prospective postdoctoral scholars
If you have or are soon to graduate with a Ph.D. in computer science or a related field and have a demonstrated publication record in top visualization or HCI venues, contact Matt or Jessica to discuss possible postdoctoral positions.
Prospective Ph.D. students
Students who want to work with the lab can do so by applying to a Northwestern Ph.D. program:
Computer Science, or
Technology & Social Behavior, a joint Ph.D. program between Computer Science and Communication.
We encourage applications from students with degrees in computer science and related fields, but welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Being comfortable developing software and using statistics are important. Check out the lab’s work prior to applying so you can tell us concretely how your interests or experience intersect. If you are unsure if you are qualified or have questions about working with the lab group, please get in touch.
For more information, please check the admission pages for Computer Science and Technology & Social Behavior.
Existing undergraduates and Master’s students
Existing undergraduates and Master’s students at Northwestern should contact Matt or Jessica directly about possible opportunities to work on research in the lab. Be ready to explain what skills you can bring to the lab and describe your interests relative to our existing work.
