Based on the interdisciplinary nature of our research efforts, we are looking for enthusiastic and driven undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral researchers with interests and expertise in engineering, chemistry, biological sciences, or a related field. Independence, creativity, passion, and good communication skills are essential. The Appel Lab is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community of scientists and engineers from all backgrounds including (but not limited to) ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, experience, and training. We acknowledge that there are longstanding inequities within the STEM community, and that individuals with underrepresented and/or marginalized identities still face barriers in their careers due to historic and ongoing systemic discrimination. We believe that an inclusive environment is the only fertile medium in which to pursue excellence in learning, research, and service. The Appel Lab is dedicated to building an open and accepting laboratory environment to welcome talented individuals from all backgrounds and foster their growth and success here at Stanford and in their future careers.
If you are interested in joining our lab, please feel free to contact team members to discuss their experience in the lab and within the Stanford community.
To apply as a PhD student, please first apply to the Doctoral Program in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering. The department provides every PhD student with full financial support for the duration of the PhD degree, contingent on the student maintaining satisfactory academic progress. The financial aid package includes a living stipend/salary, full tuition, and a health insurance subsidy. Further, PhD students have access to on-campus housing at below-market rates.
