Takatori Lab

Join Us!

We are a lab of motivated, collaborative, and self-propelled scientists and engineers who pursue fundamental advances at the interface of soft condensed matter, materials science, and fluid dynamics.

Our goal is to become leaders in these fields. An equally important goal is to train students to become independent researchers and become the best scientists & engineers of their generation.  To achieve these goals, we aim to develop rigorous analytical theories, execute well-designed experiments, and disseminate our findings with the broader scientific community through clear, impactful, and well-delivered oral presentations and publications.

We seek candidates from all relevant fields, and both experimentalists and theorists (and those who do both!):
 

Experimental + theory projects in complex dynamical systems using data-driven methods, discrete particle-based simulations, coarse-graining, continuum PDEs, and manipulating colloids with optical tweezers. ​​​​

​

We currently have openings only if you are supported by an external fellowship.  We are happy to work with you to submit an application together.

​​

​

​Postdoctoral scholars

Interested researchers should email your CV, contact information of three individuals who could provide a letter of reference, and a brief summary of the research you wish to undertake in our group.​

​​​

PhD students

We welcome graduate students from all relevant departments!  Prospective graduate students should apply through Graduate Admissions and get in touch with us!  ​​

​

Undergraduate students

We welcome undergraduate researchers!  The best way to get involved is to apply to a structured undergraduate research program, like REU, SURF, etc.​​
