Prospective Undergraduate Researchers
EPIC occasionally has opportunities to work with us an undergraduate researcher. In general, preference will be given to students who have completed "igneous and metamorphic petrology" along with other introductory geology courses (due to the nature of the work in our lab). If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity, please contact me at [email protected].
Prospective Graduate Students
If you are interested to applying to graduate school to work with me, please follow this link to a separate page specifically for prospective graduate students, where I provide a lot more information and advice on applying to be a graduate student in the EPIC lab and in the School of Earth & Space Exploration at ASU in general, as well as information on need-based graduate application fee waivers.
Note, in place of individual meetings in advance of ASU's graduate application deadline (Dec. 1 annually), every Fall I host a series of three open Zoom Information Sessions about graduate school in EPIC. Please check back in early September for dates for this year's zoom sessions.

Prospective Postdoctoral Fellows
I currently do not have funding to support a new postdoctoral fellow outside of the departmental SESE Exploration Postdoc. If you are interested in writing a different type of proposal for postdoctoral fellowship, please contact me at [email protected] to discuss further.
SESE Exploration Postdoctoral Fellowships: The School of Earth and Space Exploration at ASU sponsors one or more interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellowships each year with proposals due in December annually (for a Summer or Fall start date). See here for more information. This program emphasizes supporting scholars focused on interdisciplinary research, with a requirement of having two faculty mentors with different disciplinary expertise. For this program, the more interdisciplinary the proposed project and the more divergent the expertise of the two proposed advisors, the better. For example, a proposed research project with a faculty mentor with a seismology background and another with an igneous petrology background would likely be more favored than one with mentors with igneous petrology and igneous geochemistry expertise. Also Prof Till is an advisor for a present SESE Exploration Fellow (Dr. Daniel Portner), so while not impossible, it is improbable that an SESE Exploration Postdoc applicant applying to work with Prof Till will get chosen in the Winter 2021-2022 selection round, all other things being equal.
