Opportunities

The Departments of Geophysics and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University represent centers of excellence in radar, exploration, and near surface geophysics, and the mechanics and dynamics of Earth, environmental, and planetary systems. This provides a unique and exciting intellectual environment within which to study and practice radioglaciology.

Prospective Ph.D. students and postdocs interested in the development and use of geophysical radar to study the interaction and evolution of ice and water in Earth and planetary systems should feel free to contact dustin.m.schroeder@stanford.edu to discuss potential projects in one or more of our core research areas. Prospective students can also get a sense for our group culture by looking at our expectations document.

Undergraduate students that are interested in the development, deployment, and application of ice penetrating radar systems should also contact dustin.m.schroeder@stanford.edu about current opportunities in our lab and consider applying to the SESUR or EE REU programs. 

Finally, if you are interested in studying with us, you may also be interested in joining one of these amazing groups led by our alumni:

• The Cornell Hydrology, Ice, and Radar Physics Lab

• The Gator Glaciology Lab at the University of Florida  

• The Glaciology Research Group at Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich

• The HI SNR Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder

• The Michaelides Radar Laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis

• The Mines Glaciology Lab

• The Peters Research Group at the University of Colorado, Boulder

• The Polar Geophysical Simulation Lab at Georgia Tech

• The Young Research Group at the University of St. Andrews
