We welcome students and researchers who are excited by fundamental questions in biological and bioinspired materials science and motivated to pursue rigorous, curiosity-driven research.

Research in the laboratory is experimentally driven and combines multiscale characterization, experimental mechanics, and advanced manufacturing. We value scientific curiosity, independence, and critical thinking, and encourage researchers to develop both fundamental understanding and technical expertise.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Israel with:

• A brief description of their background and research interests

• A curriculum vitae (CV)

• Relevant research or technical experience (if applicable)
