Excited about organismal biophysics? Get in touch!


Please email Jasmine with a little information about you and your interests if you'd like to learn more about opportunities at any level.

🎉 Currently recruiting! 🎉 Excited about integrating theoretical and empirical methods, developing and using novel biophysical experimental setups, and working with non-traditional model organisms? We are looking for 1-2 graduate students or postdoctoral scholars to join a funded collaborative project (with Ashley Nord at CNRS Montpellier) on the biophysics and evolution of the fascinating Campylobacter flagellar motor. Campy is an emerging model system and there is lots to learn, so project areas are flexbile and all backgrounds and interests (theory or experiment) are welcome! Please contact Jasmine directly at jnirody@uchicago.edu.

Potential Postdocs

We are excited to hear from fellows and postdocs who want to work with us! Please get in touch to discuss project and/or funding ideas.

Potential Graduate Students

UChicago has a wide range of exciting graduate programs that overlap with our research. Some of these include: Integrative Biology, Biophysical Sciences, and the Committee on Evolutionary Biology. I welcome emails from prospective students at all stages at the application process, as well as from current UChicago students interested in doing a rotation project!

Potential Undergraduate Students

Our research provides ample opportunities for undergraduate engagement. Please get in touch to discuss options for paid or for-credit research!
