Opportunities
We are looking forward to working with undergraduate students, graduate students (master's or doctoral), visiting researchers, and postdoctoral researchers.
Graduate students
Prospective graduate students should first apply to the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Along with applying to the Gambaro Graduate Program of Aeronautics and Astronautics, a prospective graduate student should email Professor Hanquist and include your CV, a brief statement of your interests related to our research, and examples of your recent work.
Undergraduate students
There are numerous opportunities for undergraduate students to get involved in our lab including:
- First Time Researcher (FTR) Fellowship
- Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF)
- Course credit/independent research (e.g., AAE 497)
Please visit the Engineering Undergraduate Research Office (EURO) for more information on undergraduate research opportunities.
Postdoctoral Fellowships
Postdoctoral applicants also please attach your three most important publications. Availability changes frequently according to project needs and funding; however, we are always ready to meet the most outstanding candidates from all fields and areas of expertise.
Funding
While Professor Hanquist's research grants and teaching assistantships fund the tuition and stipend for students in the group, funding from graduate research fellowships is another valuable resource that all applicants should pursue. A list of external fellowships to which prospective graduate students can apply is provided below:
- NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities (NSTGRO)
- National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship (NDSEG)
- Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART)
- Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF)
- NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Progrom (NSF GRFP)
- GEM Fellowship Program
Purdue has resources on identifying external fellowships.
Direction
Approximately five minutes from the Purdue University Airport (LAF), 75 minutes from the Indianapolis International Airport (IND), and ~2-2.5 hours from Chicago airports.
